Hi NG,

perhaps a simle thing....

in our network, we wave some centrino-notebooks (wxp-pro), which should
connect over wlan to our servers (w2k3):

The problem:

The wlan-nic is only able to connect to the network (WPA+psk), when the
user is already logged in the notebook-> so all of the loginscripts will
not be executed, roaming profiles will not work, and so on...

My question:
Is there a way to activate the wlan-nic without logging into the system
- especialy when an encryption is used (WPA+PSK)?

Thanks for the help...

Stefan

Possibly you can solve this by simply turning off fast logon:

Re roaming profiles see also the policies in Computer
Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/User Profiles - it make take
more than one logon for these to take effect.
