Hi,

my problem is that windows 7 pro joined to domain do not wait for the
network to startup on boot. User is enable to log, but the network is
not initialized yet ( checking if the computer IP's is assigned through
DHCP ). And when user logs the network is initialized and works well.
When I boot the computer and wait for 5-10 seconds at logon prompt the
network is then initialized and works well.

I have enabled "Always wait for network at computer startup and logon"
setting in Group Policy. I have checked if the SyncForegroundPolicy
registry settings is enabled. I have updated driver for network
controller , nothings worked. Other computer's in domain wait for
network, but this one doesn't and than software installation assigned in
Group Policy do not apply.

The error for Group Policy is "The processing of Group Policy failed
because of lack of network connectivity to a domain controller. This may
be a transient condition. A success message would be generated once the
machine gets connected to the domain controller and Group Policy has
succesfully processed. If you do not see a success message for several
hours, then contact your administrator."

Thanks for replies.
