A. The Cisco VPN Client is in fall back mode. This contributes to the delay. In fallback mode, the VPN Client performs differently when start before logon is in use. When operating in fallback mode, the VPN Client does not check to see if the necessary Windows services have started. As a result, the VPN connection could fail if initiated too quickly.Uninstall the Cisco VPN Client, and remove the offending applications to allow startup without being in “fall back” mode. Then reinstall the Cisco VPN Client. For more information on fallback mode, please refer to Start before Logon.
