Cached Credentials or Domain Logon | Timeout Period?

[Guest TTL_UK]

Hi,

 

Does anyone know what the time limit is before a client decides to use its

 

cached credentials (how long does it wait for a DC to respond).

 

 

 

.....and more importantly is this timeout configurable?

 

 

 

Alternatively, is there any way to get client machines to "try harder" to

 

find a DC? (like a "second knock" or something)

 

 

 

I have Vista and W7 client machines and a 2003, native AD.

 

 

 

TIA, TTL
