I wanted to give a little update on this issue. I found that there is a group policy setting called wait for network. I located in Computer configuration, admin templates, system, login. I disabled this. applied this to all computers in my laptop OU. After testing one computer, it seems to be making a difference for the login time. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Andrew Hodgson Sent: Tuesday, January 26, 2016 1:27 PM To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Domain laptop boot issue Hi, What polocies are in place on the domain? Mapped drives or redirected folders? This is almost certainly a system trying to get something before timing out issue when not on the network in my view.

Most of the laptops reportedly work well out in the field. But a handful of them are reported to have very slow bootup and login processes when not able to find the domain controler. The boot up and login take more than 5 minutes on some ocasions. These are all windows seven professional machines set up on a 2012 domain. Have any of you encountered this issue, and do you have any tips or tricks that helped laptops boot up faster when they can't find the domain controller? My minimum specs are I5 with a minimum of 4 gigs ram.Thanks. _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins
