The Wait for remote user profile machine setting should be configured correctly. Directs the system to wait for the remote copy of the roaming user profile to load, even when loading is slow. Also, the system waits for the remote copy when the user is notified about a slow connection, but does not respond in the time allowed. This setting and related settings in this folder together define the system's response when roaming user profiles are slow to load. If you disable this setting or do not configure it, then when a remote profile is slow to load, the system loads the local copy of the roaming user profile. The local copy is also used when the user is consulted (as set in the "Prompt user when slow link is detected" setting), but does not respond in the time allowed (as set in the "Timeout for dialog boxes" setting). Fix: (1) GPO: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles\Wait for remote user profile (2) KEY: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System\SlowLinkProfileDefault
