Windows 7 Boot up slow when off domain, netlogon 5719
Hello,
My road warrior users are having issues where their laptops take a while to startup while on the road or anywhere outside our network. With Windows 7, It hangs at "Please Wait" for roughly 1 minute and 45 seconds. The actual login process only takes about 15 seconds.
If i turn off the wireless on the laptop with no ethernet connected it roughly takes about 45 seconds to boot up.
I realize I am getting NETLOGON 5719,is there anyway to reduce the domain controller search time? Or another way to speed up the boot process.
Thank you

Actually, are you using static dns entries? Might be all it is.....

No we are completely configured via DHCP

I realize that is an option, but there has to be a solution for all the millions of corporate laptop users.
-On the wireless network if the wireless NIC is configured to get IP from DHCP the event id 5719 can occur.The Netlogon service may start before the network is ready, the computer may be unable to locate the logon domain controller.Hence there is delay while login in domain
- The Nelogon service try to starts before getting ip from the DHCP, but at this time IP is not assigned by the the DHCP and netlogon service gives error.
- Assign static IP address to the Wireless NIC and check else connect the PC to wired network.

Static IP's wont work because the users will be floating between multiple hotel networks etc.
Then this much of delay is expected in wireless network.

Parameters\ExpectedDialupD
This registry location can set ADDITIONAL time, but there was no reference to reducing time. I think you may be out of luck with any registry tweak for this. It appears this is "by design"
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControl
Data type
REG_DWORD
Range 0–600 (seconds)
Default value 0
Description
Specifies the additional time that the Net Logon service waits for a response from a domain controller. If the domain controller does not respond before the total time allowed elapses, then Net Logon assumes that the domain controller is not available, and it proceeds accordingly.

Try to set "Startup policy processing wait time" in group policy. It's located under Computer Configuration | Policies | Admin Templates | System | Group Policy.
Are you using the "Always wait for the network" at login?

@johnb6767 I Sony have it explicitly set.
ASKER
@Jim-r I have tried that within the local GOP for windows 7. No dice.
???

Try Netmotion

More of a workaround than a fix.
