check the policy Slow-Link detection
disable the gpo "Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon"

Let me try to to explain this better:
My remote users connect to my Domain via windows 2003 RAS VPN.
They can either check to use dial up networking when they hit
control-alt-del. or login offline and manually connect to the MS VPN.
When they first turn on the computer there are Group Policy scripts bound
to
the computer account. These run a handful of diff. scripts to install
software, some updates, remove unwanted software stuff like that.
Some times these startup scripts run for a very long time, even though
they
are not connected to the VPN. It seems the off line status is still
looking
for the script to run and bogs down the system.
Since these remote users will only be connect after they login these
scripts
take a very long time, sometimes they need to reboot with the network
unplugged to force the computer scripts not to run.
Am I better off not having any computer based scripts (or Group Policy)
for
remote computers or is there a a logical way to have the scripts not run
if
they are not on the domain or VPN??
Does that make sence?

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 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
