i did make changes gp outlined in article, however, did not fix issue, , listed below.

computer configuration\administrative templates\system\logon\ wait network @ computer startup , logon (this did fix folder redirection error messages on client machines , dc well)

computer configuration\administrative templates\system\group policy\printers policy processing

please enable:

1. allow processing across slow network connection

2. process if group policy objects have not changed.

if has ideas, let me know.

thanks again,
