Hi,

The login is the problem, which could be a combination of the amount of roaming profile 
information being transfered down, possible network issue, and the speed of the PC's, 
the server the account are login on through, plus then the accessing of a 3rd party 
piece of software that may be struggling with 35-40 network connections to it at 
one time and it's associated database.

It's basically a schools electronic registeration, which they only have a 10min period 
in the morning and afternoon to do it in. this is even less when the teachers are 
late, someone is covering or the kids are messing around or they have not logged 
in as soon as they have reached the classroom. 

So the plan is for the server to force the 35 PC to login at a certain time, with 
a generic login, low roaming or a local profile, then in the login script lock the 
screen and run the electronic registeration program.

Then all the teacher have to do is unlock the screen, take the registeration, save 
the data, close the program and log out.

So if anyone has any information on how I can force the login, AT command?
As well as force a lock screen command in a login script, that would be great.

Thanks for your time and any help you can give.

Cheers,

Keith.
