Does anyone know if there is a way to set a few seconds delay for autologin? When we try to use TweakUI or this method http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315231 it logs into a local profile instead of the domain. If we log in maually it works fine This is an old computer from a vendor and I assume it’s probably a slow connecting NIC or slow routing causing it not to see the domain in time to pull the roaming profile. I have Googled ’till my fingers are raw and all I see on other forums are flame wars on other worthless options. If anyone has any ideas I would be most greatfull.

Given what you describe I would suspect services, networking in particular, haven’t loaded yet before the logon attempts to take place.
That autologon was meant for a local workstation logon not a domain logon when it first came out.
I can’t think of a single thing to delay autologon. You might consider making a logon script cmd file that would be placed in Startup instead of using autologon. Something to the effect like this using visual basic
@echo off
wscript %0\..\NetLogon.vbs
That should provide enough delay for the services to load to then successfully logon.
Another tact to take would be to pare down to bare minimum what is loading on startup.
