To resolve the issue we need to give system more time to initiate network before proceeding with the logon process.First of all try to enable ' Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon' via group policy. This option is located in:Computer Configuration Administrative Templates System LogonIn our situation this option was already turned on.Issue was fixed by enabling ' Startup Policy Processing Wait Time' and setting wait time value to 10 seconds.You may need to experiment with time-out values. Although in our situation 10 second was enough fix the problem, you may need to specify higher value.Enabling this option will increase client’s login time by specified number of seconds only if computer is genuinely disconnected from the network.
