OneCare 2.0 and logon script

v1 didn't do this. I've noticed that if I logon too quickly after the WinXP
workstation boots up that I get an error when the SBS 2003 logon script
runs. The error is that it can copy the setup file to the workstation. The
SBS logon script runs a program that makes checks of the OS on the
workstation. The problem appears to be that OC2 isn't ready yet. If I delay
logging on for a few seconds then the error doesn't occur. I've also noticed
that if I logon too quickly that the OC icon is gray instead of green when
it appears in the tray; however, once again, if I delay logging on the icon
is green as soon as it appears in the tray. This appears to be a timing
issue only, but as stated, it didn't happen in v1. Does OC need to delay the
presentation of the "Press Ctrl+Alt+Del" screen for logon or does it need to
just recognize the local network sooner? I haven't tried yet with the
firewall turned off before rebooting, but it may yield some additional info.

I suspect that it has to do with the order of services running and the time it
is taking for the network to initialize, coupled with OneCare's services
starting.
Yes, delaying login avoids this problem as the core services are already loaded
before the user logs in.
