hi all, in trying to reduce startup/logon times. i'm reviewing a policy that has "always wait for network at computer startup or logon" set to enabled. in my testing ou, i've disabled it and startup times have decreased by around a min. apparently the default setting is disabled, but i'd like to hear about people's opinions on this setting? should it be on or off. additionally, in regards to the startup slowness, i notice there seems to be a long wait at "applying computer settings". what exactly occurs here? i've used policy reporter and it shows that during machine policy refresh, establishing the link speed and determining it is a fast link takes less than a second, there is then a 20-30 sec delay in the log before anything else starts happening, can anyone shed some light on this? thanks, daniel. *********************** You can unsubscribe from gptalk by sending email to gptalk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the freelists.org Web interface.
