Server 2008 "Preparing your Desktop" stalls

Recently I built a new Server 2008 SP2 Domain Controller. When logging into it the "Preparing your desktop" would stall for a long period of time. The machine itself wouldn't freeze and functionality continued normally and you could even use the task bar, just not the desktop.

Fix:
Open cmd prompt and type: Net localgroup Users Interactive /add

Logoff and back on with no more stalling.
