Why does this happen?
Problem: Boot GPO's fail to run.
Solution: MS has a reg fix, to make the GPO implementation wait until the network initialization completes.

I am having a discussion with a coworker, and the question is "Why is this happening?" and how would I do further investigation on "Exactly what is going on?"
Note: Spanning tree on the switch is enabled, this is network wide, and there are no network errors.

1) no error messages after boot. the gpupdate /force works with no issues (because the network is up and all is working)
2) there is an event in the boot up event logs, that match the KB from MS, the GPO failed to run
One more addition as will, an updated Network driver (all drivers) has no effect (and flash of all bios)
Another symptom can be seen, when you login right away, the network drives all have that red X, but go away when you navigate them, again pointing at the network.
Perhaps I should look more closely at the spanning tree??? Could the network be holding up the NIC from starting?

GPO updates are working, and being applied to all workstations correctly ?
it's just this update which is not working ?
do you have a different network interface or switch to try ?

1) no they are not. there are some specific boot GPO's that will not run.
No I don't.
But I think the issue is being missed. I know how to fix it. The question is why is this happening?
I am getting some beurocractic blowback, and I need to say "because this and this log says so", or something to that effect. The windows event log shows there is an error, but not why the network card is not booting as fast as the OS.

Sorry, I'm a little confused, do GPO updates work in your organisation, ANY?
lets just park this specific update.

no firewalls here on our workstations, and it happens!
Check portfast, Andrew :-)
