Title: Wireless and logon script

Are there any errors in the app log?  If so what are they? You may want to enable userenv logging for more detailed info.  Two things come to mind.  One thing is that you may want to disable media sense.  See 239924 How to disable Media Sensing for TCP/IP in Windows http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;239924 . I've seen this a few times on gigabit nics and wireless nics.   The other is  slow link network detection.  If windows thinks that you have a slow link it won't process logon scripts .  The userenv log would tell you if that is the case.  If someone configured the slow link setting in a policy then that could cause your problem if the nics are not working properly    If you want to enable userenv logging try this kb 221833 How to enable user environment debug logging in retail builds of Windows http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;221833   Tim Hines ----- Original Message ----- From: Creamer, Mark To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Sent: Monday, February 06, 2006 10:48 AM Subject: [ActiveDir] Wireless and logon script Can someone explain the mechanics of the logon for me, when the user is on a wireless connection? We have Cisco Wireless Access Points, and a Cisco ACS, but I haven’t been involved with their setup. Basically the deal is when a user logs in to a wired LAN connection, the logon script always runs. When they log on with wireless, the logon script does not run. To me as a casual observer, it looks like the authentication does not happen until after a cached logon takes place and the user attempts to reach a resource requiring authentication, such as Exchange.
