Hi all,
I have a script that runs ok when Laptops are hard wired to network.
If a user logs on wirelessly the script doesn't run FIRST TIME.
Logoff/logon and the script runs..

This seems to be a timing issue of sequence of events.

When you login wirelessly windows needs a few seconds to connect to AP.
But script has already tried to run..
Kind of cart before the horse !!

This must be a common problem for anyone using wireless.
Anyone got a solid solution please.
Thx,
Ray..

Welcome to KORG!

Are you running your scripts synchronously? (usually set by GPO)

Are the systems waiting for the network to be fully initialized? There was an "enhancement" by MS when XP was released to allow logins before the network was ready. OK for home users, but in a corp environment, it's a bad idea.

Take a look at this thread for more info.

Hiya and thx for replying.
So I need to disable logon optimisation ?

The script is set to run on domain controller profile of each user account.
So I think I can disable this logon optimisation using GPO.

Thx for your help.

Ray.

I might reg-hack one laptop manually to verify that the settings make a difference, as I expect they would.. Once verified, you can push it out via policy. Users might see a slight delay after reboot, but not after a basic logoff/on.
