Re: Deploy office 2003 to XP workstations

Hi Mark,

I'm new to group policy, and I did read your posting carefully and went to group policy to look where is the setting. And I'm still confused.
I didn't mean to bother you so long, but is this place for us to discuss questions and solutions?

This is your original post:

[XP and the f***ing asynchronus start up.
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\
Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon.]

I don't quite understand what to do with "Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon." Does this has to be done on AD GPO?

What do you mean "You can activate "run scripts
SYNCHRONOUSLY" or "Always wait for the network ..." to change the
startup behavior of XP, but _not_ async.
There is no such setting or do I need to write some script to do so?

Can you please let me know what exactly I need to do?

Thanks,
Sarah

Hi,

Is this a typing mistake or do you just don´t read my postings?

I didn´t want you to turn this on. You can activate "run scripts
SYNCHRONOUSLY" or "Always wait for the network ..." to change the
startup behavior of XP, but _not_ async.
Async Startup from XP is the problem we want to avoid.

I said:
| Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\
| Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon.

you ask for a totally different Category from within the adm templates
| Maximum wait time for Gropu policy scripts?
| wait for remote user profile?
| run startup scripts asynchronously?

I corrected you a bit and wrote:
| Run startup script _synchronously_
and posted the first policy again and after that you turn on
"run startup scripts asynchronously"?

So, is it just a test, how long I will answer or do we just have
a communication problem, because of my english (not my native language)
