Extremely slow shut down

[TarsierSpectral]

I have 2 Windows 7 laptops (different brands), both are suffering from over 5 minutes shut down speeds. This is very annoying. I have done these changes in the registry, which did not help:
1. Changed services kill timeout
2. Disabled ClearPageFileAtShutdown

The second one worked once, right after I changed it, but after that was back to regular slow speed. I have to mention that both laptops have Mcafee Endpoint Encryption. I am not sure if that's the cause. As a test I setup a desktop with Win 7 and the encryption and I do not have a shutdown problem.

Anyone have any ideas?

Are they just as slow if you put the machines into Sleep mode?

Have you looked at the Event log to see if anything strange is reported during shutdown?

Actually, I narrowed the problem down. When the computer is put in a domain it takes a long time to shut down, if I take it off the domain it shuts down normally. I wonder if there is something going on between the encryption and the AD as the encryption uses single sign on, basically passes the password used to log into encryption to AD so the user doesn't have to enter it twice.
Hmmm, any clues? I will check the log.
