Hi, thanks for the reply. In our cases the scripts are all stored centrally on the network, nothing on the machine locally which references network resources. Our script timeout is 2 hours (we use scripts for some software installations), but this machine times out after one hour and goes to the login prompt. The machines are Windows 7 (could be vista). I was guessing that if there is no network connectivity it wouldn't try and run the scripts. It isn't consistent though, i.e some laptops are ok I think but some do weird stuff so kinda stuck how to troubleshoot it to see what it is doing for that hour Thanks On 22 Dec 2009, at 20:59, Darren Mar-Elia wrote: > Dave- > One thing that always comes to mind when off the network and using scripts is the script timeout. I would think that normally, if the scripts are stored remotely, this would fail immediately, but if you had scripts running locally that were trying to connect to resources or perform tasks that hang when not on the network, then the script timeout could come into play. By default its only 10 minutes but I wonder if you've adjusted that? Just a possible avenue of exploration. Also, if this is XP, you could have them enable userenv logging and see if that doesn't point the way. > > Darren > > -----Original Message----- > From: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dave Sharples > Sent: Tuesday, December 22, 2009 12:55 PM > To: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [gptalk] troubleshooting group policy when machine off the domain > > Hi, probably a vague question, but whats the easiest way to troubleshoot domain joined laptops which when off the domain (and network) take an hour to boot up before timing out and giving a login prompt. > > I guess the machine could be connected to any random wireless network at the time > > Does having startup scripts as part of the machine startup in group policy impact this (didn't think it does). > > kinda stuck where to start with why it takes so long. > > Thanks > > Dave
