Re: Can you login after desktop comes up?

Thanks for the ideas but, I can't login (to the domain) at the begining
because I don't have a network connection until AFTER login. I use the cached
Doamin account for login but the home drive and mapped drives through the
login script of group policy isn't there once I establish the VPN session.
The local policy/script is too much trouble and an administrative
nightmare!!! I can't believe Microsoft doesn't have a simple solution for
re-authenticating to a domain once the desktop is up without shutting
down/killing Windows sessions...

I though I had it figured out with the "shutdown -l" command; but it kills
my Verizon wireless card connection...

Maybe I'll try Verizon and see if their card can establish a connection
BEFORE the Windows login GINA cones up.

Any other ideas are welcome.
