Hi, I have an issue when I tried to join my Windows XP proffessional pc with windows 2003 standard edition server. For some reason it is very slow when it trying to pass the login during boot up. I have to wait about 5 minutes which is still saying " loading personal setting". After it load everything up, if I click on icon on my desktop like IE or my computer, it took like 40 or 50 seconds. Therefore, I configure my XP to change the network to " WORKGROUP" it seem fine and was able to click on any icon instantly and load up quicker too. There no problem with my windows 2003 server everything boot up fast and switching from task to another is quick too. Here my system specification: XP system: P4=2.8gb 512ram , 60gb Windows 2003 server= p4 2.8gb , 2gb ram,200gb. The server had been setup with Active directory with a domain called " SERVER2003". Any suggestion would be appreciation. Timmy
