I just upped it from 180 to 300. My understanding is that would pause the boot-up process for 5 minutes (or until it get's a network link). I get to the logon prompt within 5 minutes easily. So it appears to not be pausing the boot-up process.

When you used the GpNetworkStartTimeoutPolicyValue setting, what did you set the timeout to? 60 seconds? ...You might try increasing to something larger, say 300 seconds, and see if that works. If it does then gradually decrease it until you find a reasonable setting that works. //signed// Jamie R Nelson Systems Engineer Ingenium Corporation -----Original Message----- From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Evans Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2007 6:21 PM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Re: New Dells Not Installing Software I knew I forgot one.
