    Reduce domain password check timeout


    Hi,

    I have a laptop from my university. When I'm at home, obviously it cannot connect to the university domain controller. However, instead of just going with the locally stored password, it will spend a good 30 seconds trying to connect to the domain controller. Is there any way to reduce this timeout to a more reasonable time (i.e., 5 seconds) or disable it altogether?

    Regards

    Thanks for your reply, I was logging in locally (so no VPN login, that's sometimes even quicker than waiting the 30 seconds, but will fail on some routers I use)

    I have a computer with Windows on the SSD booting in 30 seconds flat - which is doubled by a domain password check. So, no.

    More specifically, can I change the domain group policies somehow on my local computer?
