Hello,

I have 25 laptops part of my domain. Here is an issue that laptops
are experiencing:

As long as they are connected to the network in the office,
everything (anything in START menu) works marvelous and without any
issues.

When the laptop is off site and as long as they are not connected to
any LAN or WiFi network, everything (anything in START menu) works
without any problem.

However, as soon as a laptop is off site and connected to WiFi or
LAN, and if START menu is launched or any Office applications on the
desktop are launched everything freezes. It takes about a minute or
two for things to start working again.

I have looked in Event Viewer >> Application and the following three
errors are present:

>> Event ID 1000, Could not execute the following script \\Domain-
Name\sysvol\Domain-Name\scripts\hidedocs.vbs. The network location
cannot be reached.

>> Event ID 1000, Could not execute the following script \\Domain-
Name\sysvol\Domain-Name\scripts\logon.vbs. The network location
cannot be reached.

>> Event ID 1054, Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name
for your computer network. (The specific domain either does not
exist or could not be contacted) Group Policy processing aborted.

It is clear that the machine is trying to contact the domain and
execute scripts. I have looked up these Event IDs on Microsoft's
website and none of the solutions they have provided has helped so
far.

Is there anyway (possibly in GPO settings) that a setting can be
activated or deactivated to make the laptop realize that it is off
site, so the applications don't hang when connected to a network
other than domain in the office?

Any help would be appreciated.
