Can someone help out in writing a script to delay the "autologon" process on
a windows XP machine joined to AD domain?

The machine logs on faster than the services actually starting, so the apps
fail.

I need to delay the logon process.

What I think you're asking about is Synchronous/Asynchronous logons. It's the
logon difference between Win2000 and WinXP. Win2000 will wait until things
are loaded before giving you control, whereas WinXP does not, and therefore
can require an additional reboot for something to take affect.

You'll need to research these further. You can experiment by adding these
REG entries into an XP box and re-testing. You will also need to test these
in conjunction with your Group Policies to make sure they're still dropping
properly.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system]
"SynchronousMachineGroupPolicy"=dword:00000000
"SynchronousUserGroupPolicy"=dword:00000000
