Re: Group Policy Problems Over Wireless

Yes, that is truebut if the network isn't fully operational and the user logs in, software installation policy won't occur, as it is supposed to happen before login, as you say. I've seen it do the software install when the user logs back out and goes to log in again. On 13 October 2010 15:46,

RE: Group Policy Problems Over Wireless

Re: Group Policy Problems Over Wireless

isn't there a "wait for the network to initialize" GPO setting that you can put down so that it won't try to install software until the network is fully operational? I can't get into GPMC at the moment to confirm - keeps crashing cos of the Wyse Device Manager snap-in. Grrr On 13 October 2010 15:
