This policy setting allows you to configure when preference items in the Network Shares preference extension are updated. If you enable this policy setting you can configure processing options for Network Shares preference items. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting Network Shares preference items are allowed to process across a slow network connection to be applied during background processing and to process even if the Group Policy objects (GPOs) are unchanged. By default background processing priority is “Idle. “Notes:1. The “Allow processing across a slow network connection” option updates preference items even when the update is transmitted across a slow network connection such as a telephone line. Updates across slow connections can cause significant delays. 2. The “Do not apply during periodic background processing” option prevents the system from updating affected preference items in the background while the computer is in use. When background updates are disabled preference item changes do not take effect until the next user logon or system restart. 3. The “Process even if the Group Policy objects have not changed” option updates and reapplies the preference items even if the preference items have not changed. Many policy implementations specify that they are updated only when changed. However you might want to update unchanged preference items such as reapplying a desired preference setting in case a user has changed it.

This policy setting allows you to configure the level of detail recorded by event logging for the Network Options preference extension and to turn on tracing for the Network Options extension. Logging and tracing provide diagnostic information for troubleshooting. If you enable this policy setting you can configure event logging and turn on tracing for the Network Options extension for client computers. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting by default event logging for this extension includes only warnings and errors and tracing for this extension is turned off. Notes:1. User Configuration tracing: To perform tracing for items in this preference extension listed under User Configuration you must provide a path in the “User trace” box to the location where a user trace file can be created on the client computer and you must turn on the “Tracing” option. If there are no preference items under User Configuration in this extension no user trace file is created. 2. Computer Configuration tracing: This preference extension is available under User Configuration only so computer configuration tracing is not applicable. 3. Group Policy Modeling query tracing: To perform tracing for items in this preference extension when you perform a Group Policy Modeling query you must provide a path in the “Planning trace” box to the location where a planning trace file can be created on the computer where you run modeling and you must turn on the “Tracing” option. If you are not performing Group Policy Modeling or there are no preference items in this extension no planning trace file is created.
