RESOLUTION
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious
problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft
cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using
Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
To increase the amount of time Netlogon waits before timing out during an
interactive logon using a Domain User account, the following registry
setting can be used. This registry parameter can be added on a Windows NT

To edit the registry parameter, perform the following steps:
Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) and go to the following subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters
On the Edit menu, click Add Value.
Value Name: ExpectedDialupDelay
Data Type: Reg_Dword
Data Value is in seconds.
Min Value: 0
Max Value: 600 in decimal.
Note: This value can also be used to increase the delay for switched
Ethernet networks.
