autologon problem

[wildrems]

i ask for a similar problem, but now i have more information from my boss.

we need to use the autologon feature. but it is to fast. it won't log because it can't reach the domain because the needed services hasn't start yet.

i tried a gpo that say wait for the network, and it is not working.

so any idea is welcome.

thanks

Perhaps a stupid idea i'm not sure of the side effects never tried this:

Modify the group name of the netlogon service which is:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon
Group=RemoteValidation

To

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon
Group=[b]RemoteValidationDelayed[/b]

And add RemoteValidationDelayed at the end of the List value there:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ServiceGroupOrder
List="System Reserved

i don't know if your solution work, but i found the probleme . the spanning tree was blocking the dhcp, so the client couldn't get is address so no logon. we have set the port on the switch to fast and every thing is working. i use your solution (thanks) and now every thing is fine, but i don't know yet if this registry key is needed or not.

any way thank you for your help.
