Status bar hanging up while starting up.
We have encountered a problem with MacBooks stalling during startup. It always happens when the status bar is filling before you get the log in screen. The bar stops at different spots all the time. The only way around it is to hard shut down and try again. Sometimes it will work on the first shut down other times you have to shut down 6+ times to get it to go.
This issue only surfaced after we fully patched all the systems and bound them to our Open Directory servers. We have a dual environment at the company I work for (AD & OD).
I have gone through some of the logs after this has happened and they have never stopped on the same thing twice. It just seems like a random thing.
Has anyone else had this issue? Any other things I can try to get this narrowed down?
Thanks for your time!
