I have an issue with a couple of Vista laptops not running a Group Policy
logon script when they are connected by WiFi.
If these same machines are connected to the domain by physical ethernet
there is no problem.
Some background:
Mixed 2000 / 2003 AD domain with four DCs, one of which does all the DHCP
and DNS for the domain.
Clients are a mixture of 2000 / XP Pro / Vista Business desktops and
laptops.
WiFi is provided by three Cisco wireless access points, ALL DHCP is handled
by the DC, not the WAP's.
The logon script is a simple batch file to map network drives and is applied
through Group Policy / User Configuration / Windows Settings / Scripts
(Logon/Logoff)
It works fine for all users except when a user logs on from one of two Dell
XPS laptops running Vista and connected by WiFi. If the same machine is
connected by ethernet then the script runs fine. The problem does not occur
on XP Pro laptops on WiFi.
Has anyone come across this issue before - or can anyone suggest a solution?
Not quite sure if this a networking issue, or an AD issue, so crossposted to
..active directory and .networking
