Exactly the same problem as described here:

However, I'm not able to post there for some reason (never used these
discussiongroups before ;-) ).
Basicly, after installing IE7 on aprox 250 computers all the laptop
users complain the Windows logon takes ages (i.e. 10 minutes) when
they work offline. When they're reconnected to the network everything
works flawless.
Latest updates do not seem to help. The logon screen is stuck at:
Running startup scripts...
I can't see why it wont get past that, since it wont find logon
scripts to run from the DC anyway.
