Hi
If you mean logon scripts etc. for domain computers, take a
look at the policies "Run Logon Scripts Synchronously" and
"Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon"
Description of the Windows XP Professional Fast Logon Optimization
Feature
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;305293
Scripts May Not Run Before Windows Explorer Starts Even Though
the "Run Logon Scripts Synchronously" Setting is Enabled
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;304970
You can suppress this behavior (set it back to how Win2k behaves):
With Group Policy:
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon
\Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon
By registry edit; Set the value SyncForegroundPolicy to 1 (REG_DWORD)
in this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software
\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT
\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\
With a VBScript:
'--------------------8<----------------------
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
sRegValue = "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\" _
& "CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SyncForegroundPolicy"
oShell.RegWrite sRegValue, 1, "REG_DWORD"
MsgBox "Please reboot the computer"
'--------------------8<----------------------
