"Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon"

[Victor Pereira]

Hi,

If the option "Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon"
is enabled and my network is unreachable the will the user's experience be
affected ?

Thanks in advance,

Victor Pereira

Nope. If there are no active network connections then the user logon dialog
will appear right away. If there are, then Windows will try briefly to find
a DC but will give up. This is true regardless of this setting, as far as
I've seen.
