Too bad; there's one more gotcha I can think of: if you set this policy on the
domain and the client really has such a timing problem, chances are that the
policy isn't correcly applied or only applied after a while.  If it worked
correctly or you set it locally, I'm out of ideas, too.  Event log of any
help?  Any warnings or errors from netlogon or userenv?

If things do not work at boot, use shutdown.

Installation at shutdown does not force the user to start working during installation of applications.
In addition there is no need to disable reboots, since we are already in a state of rebooting.
Any network delays are ruled out, since network was used the whole day long.
