Installing a Microsoft Hot Fix for Group Policy Delay

If you want to use the Group Policy Delay parameter on the Profile Management (Security) window in ADU, you must install a Microsoft hot fix on computers running Windows 2000. The hot fix is incorporated into Windows XP Service Pack 2 and later.

The Group Policy Delay parameter enables you to specify 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. Follow the steps below to obtain and install the hot fix.
