Slow startup

[Guest]

When a laptop from a domain is taken somewhere else and has no network
connection at all, boot up is fast. If it has any network connection, like on
a home network, the boot up spends a fair bit of time on both “preparing
network connections†and “running startup scriptsâ€. The preparing network
connections message has probably always been there but the running startup
scripts message is new because I just added a startup script through group
policy.
Is there a group policy setting that will decrease the timeout for either or
both of these operations so they will quit trying a little quicker? I have
found the "maximum wait time for group policy scripts" setting but this
refers to all scripts. I'm afraid if set it low enough to make a difference I
may run into problems with logon scripts timing out.

I'm having the exact problem. When users starts up internally, it's ok but
when they are out in the field, it would take 3-5min. I suspect gp but not
sure what is causing this delay.
