I am referring to Logon script under User Configuration.
I am using PEAP for wireless authentication, with IAS and
internal certificates. I moved the script from logon to
logoff and it runs on the wireless clients when they
logoff. The script also runs with a wired connection.

I am looking for the setting you mentioned, however I do
not see it listed. Under Computer Config->Admin Temps-
>System->Logon I see the following:
Run logon scripts synchronously
Run startup scripts asynchronously
Run startup scripts visible
Run shutdown scripts visible
Maximum wait time for Group Policy scripts
Delete cached copies of roaming profiles
Do not detect slow network connections
Slow network connection timeout for user profiles
Wait for remote user profile
Prompt user when slow link is detected
Timeout for dialog boxes
Log users off when roaming profile fails
Maximum retries to unload and update user profile
Add the Administrators security group to roaming user
profiles
Do not check for user ownership of Roaming Profile Folders
Only allow local user profiles

Any idea why I would be missing the setting you are
referring to?
