Network Drives dont connect because machines boot too fast

[dibthree]

We recently started moving our end users to Solid State harddrives.

The performance is through the roof. We are having one issue - the computers boots so fast that the network drives give up trying to connect before the NIC is finished negotiating for an IP address.

Once the computer gets an IP address the end-user has to go into my computer and connect the network drives.

Anyone have any thought on how I could tell the network drives to wait to connect until the machine has an IP address and has successfully negotiated the network?

There is a fair bit of group policy around this and will take some fine tuning.

Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon setting is probibly a good one to start with.
