I've been trying to find out if it's possible to cache group policy settings on a domain.
Reason I ask, and why I'm trying to find out, is this: We have several remote sites that have distugstingly slow network connections (think multiple comptuers, and a 56k link). It's bad enough, that the computers time out contacting DHCP (I wish I had control over where DHCP servers were... ugh).
When/if the comptuers are rebooted, it takes about 5 minutes to "apply settings" before it finally gets to the logon screen, and then another 5+ minutes to apply user GP settings, before the desktop is loaded up.
I've done some searching, and it looks like it's not possible, but just wanted to make sure since most of what I found was in regards to Win2k Server, and we're running a Win2k3 AD network.
