Re: My Documents Redirection with Laptop using WiFi

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I'm not sure why the laptops wouldn't boot, but I suspect you may be on
track with what you're thinking. I'd guess that something is trying to
connect to a resource it's not authenticated for.

If you set up your wireless securely with certificates on the laptops, the
computers will be able to authenticate to the network as soon as they get
the wireless connection. In your current situation (I'm guessing), there's
no authentication until the user logs in.

If you configure the wireless this way, you'll have a wireless experience
that's very similar to wired (login scripts run, drives map, etc.). Here's
how you do it, in a step-by-step article from SBS MVP Owen Williams.

Hello, We enabled My Documents redirection on the network, and the
wired computers work fine with it, but the laptops connecting over WiFi
fail to boot. They simply hang in the Applying Settings stage.

When we wire those same laptops into the network, they will boot fine,
but then if we shut down, and try to reboot again on the wireless, we
get the same problem.

I'm assuming this is because the WiFi connection is not connected yet
in the boot process when the laptop is looking for the My Documents
folder.
How can we get around this, or how can we accomplish what we are trying
to do?

The end goal is to have the two users in our office that use both a
laptop and a desktop have their documents available on either computer.
Should we use My Documents redirection, Roaming Profiles, or something
else to accomplish this?
Also, the laptops are used off the network, so they would need offline
access to the files.

Thanks!

Chester
