I have recently got an Apple X-serve running samba 3.0.2 I have created new users for my windows environment and on logging in the roaming profiles have been created. My windows systems are WinXP. My problem is that logging in is taking approx 3mins and approx the same to log out, with "saving settings" being displayed for most of this time. The apple is the PDC and also the WINS server. The profile have only just been created and are only approx 750K in size, both the Apple and the PC's are on Gigabit links. What can I look for to stop this horrendous login/save times.
