The wireless NICs are Broadcom, though, in this case.

In my specific experience with this type of issue, it seems to boil down to the client and the wireless network stack not being fully loaded/connected at the time the system is ready to start processing logon to the domain. The wireless negotiation/association/authentication/DHCP reservation request all take considerably longer than a wired connection does. I've overcome some of this with the Intel ProSET (which IMHO) is one of the most stable wireless supplicants out there for enterprise use. But I still end up having to run "gpupdate /force" sometimes. YMMV, HTH Jonathan L.

So turn off Slow Link detection and see if that helps. Webster From: John Hornbuckle [mailto:[email protected]] Subject: Group Policy Problems Over Wireless Short version: Is there a trick to improving group policy processing when accessing the network wirelessly? Long version: We have a lab with machines that have Broadcom wireless NICs in them. Vista OS, connecting to Server 2008 R2 DC. I'm trying to deploy a piece of software to these machines via Group Policy. I have things setup so that if the machine is a member of a certain group, the software is deployed. Unfortunately, it only worked correctly on one of the machines-on all the rest, the software isn't being deployed. So I connect to any of the machines that didn't get the software, and run gpresult. It doesn't show me that those machines are members of the group that gets the software. But I know they are; I've confirmed in ADUC on the DC. They're just not picking up group membership. Looking at the event log for events that happen around startup, I see things that make me think group policy processing is trying to happen prior to the wireless network being initialized. Things like: Event ID 5719 (There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.) Event ID 129 (NtpClient was unable to set a domain peer to use as a time source because of discovery error.) Event ID 1129 (The processing of Group Policy failed because of lack of network connectivity to a domain controller.) Connectivity to the DC is fine once you get the [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Del] window. You can log in (including as someone who has never logged into the machine before), ping the DC, browse to \\domain\syvol<file:///\\domain\syvol>, and so on. It's just that at that point, group policy processing seems to have given up. My machines aren't figuring out that they've been added to a new group. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ________________________________ Any medical information contained in this electronic message is CONFIDENTIAL and privileged.
