Re: Remote Computers / Users and Scripts

Hi
what are you saying? That the software ensures that at computer startup the
clients connect to the network via VPN and for that have a slow startup?

I hope that the information above helps you.
Have a Nice day.

I have a number of Remote users who connect via Software VPN to my network.
These users have laptops configured as part of the domain.
I have a number of startup scripts for computer and user that run.
These scripts install or update software as needed, map drives and
printers.....
My remote systems tend to run very slow when they power on their systems.
Before they even get the login prompt the system is "Running startup
scripts..."
At this point these remote computers cannot see the network to actually
run
the scripts.

Is there a best practice to avoid this issue?
Some way to by pass scripts if the system is not connected to to domain?
It seems that since the computer has a live network it really tries to
find
the server to run the scripts.

My systems in the office take a few minutes (3-5 maybe) to get to the
login
prompt too, but my remote systems can take 30 minutes before the user can
login.

I would like to impove my remote user's experience while still maintaining
a
standarized system.

Thanks,

Adam
