Logon delay to allow wireless connection before user logon

Asked by entcee in Wireless Technologies, Windows XP Operating System

Tags: wireless, logon, before, delay, connection

I have a Dell laptop with XP Pro. I am connecting to a domain through our wireless network.

I am having a problem where the user can log on before the network is established. This only happens from startup where the computer has been off. If the user logs on as soon as they see the logon screen, the logon script will not run. Now, if they wait about 5 seconds once the logon screen appears, everything works the way it should.

I have changed GP to disable the XP fast logon feature but it still happens. It is as if the logon screen appears as soon as the laptop is connected to the WAP but the laptop has not obtained an IP address so the laptop is not connected to the network (or domain).

Again, once the logon screen appears, I can count to 5, logon and everything will work so I am assuming it takes about 5 seconds once the laptop is connected to the WAP for it to obtain an IP and establish a connection to the domain.

Is there any way to add a 5 second delay before the logon screen appears? Or make it so it waits to see if the domain is available before it logs in and uses cached credentials?

Any help is appreciated.
