RE: [ActiveDir] Group Policy and Event ID: 1054

[DL.ActiveDirectory]

Along with the just-discussed policy being enabled, is this policy enabled?:   Computer Configuration|Administrative Templates|System|Group Policy|Apply Group Policy for computers asynchronously during startup   If it is, try disabling or not configuring it. The computer won’t display logon until the group policy for computers has finished.   Also, while not dealing directly with the application of group policy, the slow link detection policy in this section along with the related policies under Logon may be able to help if you are having specific slow-link profile issues.     Thank you, Mitchell D.

But now it is happening to the wireless laptops and the registry setting that fixed the gigabit cards has no effect on the wireless laptops. Intel Pro/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter getting IPs from DHCP going through a Blue Socket Wireless Gateway which points to an AD server for validation. It seems to definitely be a timing issue where WXP continues on before the card is fully initialized and functioning because sometimes after 5-15 minutes the network card  begins to work, but I’m unsure of how to fix it. Any clues to this?

So we are going to follow the instructions to disable media sensing and see if it works. In the mean time, our Network Administrator will check out all the other information that you all gave to us.

We have computers in the lab that are working just fine in all ways including applying the correct Group Policy. Then all of a sudden, out of no where, a random number of computers begin to give me the message below. And nothing seems to get it back. Not even removing it from the domain and then re-adding it back in. The only thing that seems to work is redeploying the original image and reconfiguring. What is going on here? And more importantly, how do I make it stop!?!? Group Policy Infrastructure Failed 7/21/2004 10:58:01 AM Group Policy Infrastructure failed due to the error listed below.
