I am running AD on Windows 2000 and am having a slight problem with cached passwords on workstations. I have it set to cache 2 logons, so that laptops can be used away from the domain, but when I reconnect to the domain, it still uses the cached password. The problem with this is that logon scripts (set thru Group Policy) don't run.

Is there a way to force Windows to check for a DC before logging in with cached passwords?

Are the workstations Windows XP? If so, try to disable the Fast Boot behavior via the following GP:

"Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon" - CompConf\Adm Temp\System\Logon

cheers,
