e.g. '''Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Scripts'''
Make sure that "'''Startscripts asynchron ausführenausf�hren'''" is set to "'''Aktiviert'''"
e.g. '''Apply Startup scripts asynchronously''' is set to '''enabled'''
It's a good choice, because some unpatient users will just press Reboot button when they can't log in immediately, which can have unexpected results (software not installed properly etc.).
Next thing to set is setting "'''Maximale Wartezeit für f�r Gruppenrichtlinienskripts'''" (Maximum wait time for Group Policy scripts). Default is 600 seconds (10 minutes), which can be often not enough for installing some software, or when you install more than one software package. So a safe bet is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
