I have a clean SBS 2008 install. By clean I mean I did not upgrade from SBS
2003. Clients are XP Pro. Some are new clients, some are clients removed
from the old SBS 2003 domain. For those clients that were removed from the
old domain I cleaned off all of the old profiles, removed offline files, and
cleared the cache.

All clients were updated with all OS critical patches, cleandisk, and
defrag.

I do think that the issue I am having is a firewall issue. Also, the thread
SBS 2008 Group Policies not applied dated 6/25/2008 seems to be a similar
problem.

Some symptoms include:
- very slow login, if network plug is pulled login will come up.
- some computers can not see network or get access to shared resources.
- I've surveyed some clients and they do have the same or dns errors in the
logs
- All clients were connected using http://connect



Here is a sample ipconfig of a client:

Any direction appreciated.

What is providing DHCP? The SBS server or the Router?
Can you ping the server from a workstation by Name and IP?
Vice Versa?

I can ping to the server from a workstation with issues noted. Same to that
workstation from the server.

Server is the dhcp server.

I'm not sure what to make of the link you provided, how would that relate to
XP Pro?

Have you run the SBS BPA since you completed the installation of the new
server? I'd start there:

start, administrative tools, microsoft windows server update services (right
click and run as administrator), options (at the bottom), server cleanup
wizard. I am not fully confident that the cleanup of the wsus database will
resolve your slow logins but it may help becuase sbs server interfaces with
the workstations status for updating to the sbsmonitoring database. I am
just not sure if this process runs countercurrently with the login to the
server and its subsequent verification of the user in AD.

OK, I believe that Symantec is causing the problem with the gpo errors, but
login time is still pretty poor. I may have to move away from redirected
folders. It is just killing me and I have not seen anything that helps with
this. I'm upgrading anti-virus so lets see if that helps performance.

Any other ideas?

I wouldn't start disabling or reinstalling anything without diagnosing this
first. At the least, I'd document in writing any changes you make for
"undo" purposes. I would start by looking through this (unfortunately long)
list of possible causes for the group policy error you're getting on the
client PCs.
http://eventid.net/display.asp?event...serenv&phase=1

If you go to a running pc and do Start -> Run -> gpupdate /force, do you get
the same error relating to GP processing, or do you only get them at
startup?

Without reading back through the whole thread, I don't see how disabling
redirection will help with login time. You don't have a group policy set to
sync offline files on your client PCs at startup, right? It seems to me
that folder redirection wouldn't cause this, but sync settings might. It
would be a simple matter to disable offline files on a client PC, then
reboot to see if the startup time gets better. In that case, I'd re-enable
offline but change the settings so it doesn't automatically sync at startup.

What happens if you uninstall or disable symantec on the client PC?
