Workgroup versus Domain

#1 October 18th 04, 11:15 PM

I "renamed" my workstations so that they were part of our network domain, the
same domain as the network server (Windows 2000 Server). I moved the
workstations profiles so that the users retained their settings with the
domain logon. However, now the logons take five minutes to load settings,
even though the profiles are on the local disk of each workstation. Why is
it now taking so long? The logons were virtually instantaneous when the
workstations were defined as part of a workgroup rather than as part of the
domain. Help!
