Is the issue related to computer or users?? In other words does it happen to
all computers they logon to or just a particular computer?? Does it happen to
all users that logon to that computer? If it happens to them for all computers,
then it sounds like they are having different Group Policy applied to them then
the rest of the users. If it happens on only a particular computer, then that
computer may not be receiving current Group Policy. Gpresult can show what Group
Policies are being applied to the user and computer including the last time the
policy was applied and from what domain controller. Netting should also be run
on the computer if it is a computer specific problem to make sure that the
computer can find and connect to a domain controller. Secedit can also be used
to force an update of Group Policy. --- Steve
