How I do I speed up AD Logon off the LAN?

[topgun72]

We have laptop users that logon from home with their cached domain account. It is taking an extremly long time for the laptops to time out looking for the domain before logging in with their cached profile. Does anybody know how to speed this up?

Thanks!

Hello...

Start > Run > GPEDIT.MSC

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Logon > Maximum retries to unload or update user profile

Enable that and specify a low number, i belive the defaul to be 50...hence the time it takes

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your response. I see this setting in Win2k but not XP. Do you know the XP equivalent?

Thansk again,

nearly right the correct path to the above thread is

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > user profile > Maximum retries to unload or update user profile
