Yes, this is a good point. Helper addresses. Troy, one thing you can make sure is are the users with the boot problems in house or external or both. Also if in house are they all on the same VLAN having problems or different VLANs. It’s likely that the helper addresses aren’t configured in this case. Lots to look at here though.

As already stated lots of variables. The last time we had a boot issue it ended up being traced back to routers that were having problems submitting requests to the DHCP server from the workstations trying to log in. By the time the request was received and sent back several minutes, more than five, went by.

All of our computers are on a Windows 2012 domain. Most of the laptops reportedly work well out in the field. But a handful of them are reported to have very slow bootup and login processes when not able to find the domain controler. The boot up and login take more than 5 minutes on some ocasions. These are all windows seven professional machines set up on a 2012 domain. Have any of you encountered this issue, and do you have any tips or tricks that helped laptops boot up faster when they can't find the domain controller? My minimum specs are I5 with a minimum of 4 gigs ram.Thanks. _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins
