domain logon

I am tryint to setup a laptop running VISTA Ultimate to run on a domain. It
needs to run on a wireless connection and heres the problem I am having. It
appears that the login box is appearing before the laptop loads the wireless
connection and connects to the LAN, therefor making it impossible for the
authentication to the domain to take place as I am yet not on the LAN. Is
there some way to either delay the login until the wireless is connected or
to get the wireless to load earlier in the procedure.


Thanks

Re: domain logon

Wireless client computers running Microsoft Windows Vista can use a
temporary wireless profile to obtain connectivity to a secure wireless network
and join the Active Directory domain. This temporary wireless profile, known
as a bootstrap wireless profile, requires the connecting user to manually specify
their domain user account credentials and does not validate the certificate of the
Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) server. After joining the
domain, the wireless client uses a new wireless profile that automatically leverages
the credentials of the computer and user account and validates the credentials of
the RADIUS server.

This article describes three methods of configuring a bootstrap wireless network profile:
