Step 12 If you want to change the value of the Group Policy Delay parameter, enter a new value or use the up
and down arrows to select a value between 0 and 65535 seconds. (Microsoft supports only values
between 30 and 600 seconds. The default value is 60 seconds.)
The Group Policy Delay parameter specifies how much time elapses before the Windows logon process
starts Group Policy, a Windows feature used by administrators to specify configuration options for
groups of users. The objective is to delay the start of Group Policy until wireless network authentication
occurs. The value that you set for this parameter goes into effect after the computer reboots with this
profile set as the active profile.

When the "Finding Domain Controller" step is reached during the authentication process, a
timer starts based on the number of seconds you specified for finding the domain controller. If
either this value or the LEAP authentication timeout value expires before the domain controller
is found, the authentication process times out. For example, if the authentication timeout value
is 60 seconds and the finding domain controller timeout value is 10 seconds, the client adapter
has up to 60 seconds to complete the entire authentication process, up to 10 seconds of which is
allocated for finding the domain controller. However, if authentication happens quickly, the
software might reach the "Finding Domain Controller" step in 5 seconds. If the domain
controller could not be found within 10 seconds, the authentication process would time out in
just 15 seconds.
The finding domain controller timeout value can never extend the authentication process beyond
the LEAP authentication timeout value, even if the finding domain controller timeout value is
greater than the LEAP authentication timeout value.
If you require domain services such as login scripts and roaming desktops, Cisco recommends
that you uncheck the Limit Time for Finding Domain Controller To check box.
Regardless of whether the check box is checked or unchecked, the "Finding Domain Controller"
step is bypassed once you are logged into Windows or if you log into the local machine and not
into a domain.
A Microsoft hot fix is required in order to use this parameter on computers running Windows
2000. Refer to the "Installing a Microsoft Hot Fix for Group Policy Delay" on page 3-21
information on obtaining and installing the hot fix.
