We use windows on the factory floor with .NET and VB apps, that I have
developed. When the OS boots the user is automatically logged in and custom
application is started automatically. What I am running into is the serial
ports are not available when the application starts, ie all of the OS has not
completely started. It there a way to configure the logon so that it waits
for all of the devices etc. to become available?

Thanks
 
Well...maybe give this a try. Try disabling Fast Logon Optimization as below.
Open gpedit.msc and ENABLE (not disable) Computer
Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\ Always wait for the
network at computer startup and logon
 
My Win2k domain controller does not contain a policy setting for "Always
wait for the network at computer startup and logon" as outlined in KB article
305293, which would be more desirable than performing this policy change on
each individual computer
 
Agreed. I was going on the assumption that you might not want this policy
enabled on all of the machines in the domain.
