we have a SBS 2008 domain. On this we have windows XP clients. However, we are testing the windows 7 (64 bit) machines on the network.
It takes between 10 & 15 minutes to log on – every time!
I have checked the event logs on the client machine, and the only error I can see is;
Event ID: 6005
The winlogon notification subscriber is took 615 seconds to handle the notification event (CreateSession).
I have no warnings in the server event log, everything pings ok by name, so am guessing DNS is fine.
Can someone please lend a hand with this, as we really want to go with windows 7.
Lastly, both the server, and the windows 7 machines are fully patched and updated.
Thank you.

Check your DNS settings on these machines. This problem is often caused by the client not having the SBS Machine as its primary DNS server.
