Tree spanning on our switches was misconfigured. After a link was
established it would take ~30 seconds to pass traffic. Got the network guys
to fix that and all is well.
All, thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.

Steve E.,
Wouldn't hurt to look at your DNS and WINS records for every machine or
domain name involved in this failing process.
I would do nslookup requests on the forward and reverse records for the
following:
-New terminal server
-The Active Directory Domain Name (keep an eye out for any records that
do not match live domain controllers)
-File Server (the one that hosts any file paths for the application
install)
Also if you use WINS search for the same records plus look at the
entries for the NetBIOS domain name as well to see if any legacy or
incorrect records exist.
Last but not least- if you by any chance have the application or startup
script data stored in the netlogon anywhere in the domain controller
sysvol folder manually check for proper replication between domain
controllers.

Sounds like you definitely have some kind of race condition. Did you get
any errors in the event log about not being able to find the startup
script?

I added a startup script and a shutdown script. Both of which wrote a
different file on the C: drive.
The startup file was not written.
The shutdown file was written.

Strange...maybe that setting doesn't affect Windows 2003 Server. I could
have sworn it did. Can anyone confirm/deny that?
One thing you might try is assign a computer startup script to that
server that creates a text file or something simple. Then reboot it and
see if that script actually runs against the server. That would at least
help determine whether it is a network race condition or actually
something with Software Installation policy.

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.

Strange, usually one of those three things fixes those kinds of issues.
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.

I knew I forgot one. I did try that with no success. I used the
Windows XP
SP2 instructions, even though this is a Win2k3 SP1 box.

Steve-
Have you seen

And tried using the GpNetworkStartTimeoutPolicyValue reg value?
