I've got server 2000 and every user, including new ones, take over 5 to 10 minutes
to log in. The ctrl-alt-delete option comes up quick, but loading network profile
and settings takes forever. DNS seems to be mis-configured and network drives(mapped
drives) seem to disapper at times, but after restarts they come back....why?
I want to demote server out of the domain, remove the dns and then create a new domain
and setup dns correctly. Good idea? How long should it take for 3 pc's? Do I need
to create new profiles on each workstation? Or can I just fix dns in itself? Is
there a good, easy to follow DNS site?
By the way, the internet works all of the time, so the router/switch seem to be working
fine. Any input greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!

The proper way to set up DNS:
On the server, open up the DNS admin tool.
Right click on your DNS server and choose properties.
Click on Forwarders tab.
In "Selected Domain Forwarder IP address list" there should be entries for your ISP's
DNS servers. With the assumption that you only have one DNS server, the only IP addresses
that should be listed here are your ISP's DNS servers.
Secondly, check the IP configuration for the server. Make sure it points to itself
and does not have ISP's DNS servers listed.
Lastly, make sure your client computers DNS points to your server's IP address for
DNS.
That should solve all of your problems.
No need to demote server and reconfigure. No need to recreate profiles.
