WPKG-GP fails to run randomly because network checking is not reliable on some NIC's

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Some hosts simply do not run wpkg-gp in a domain environment

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The majority of hosts run fine - some just don't at times. When wpkg-gp doesn't 
run there are not entries in the log and no messages during startup.

Furthermore, some NICs seem to have issues with the media sensing feature (the 
NIC reports the network is up when it is not). Turning it off was the only way 
I found for group policies (including wpkg-gp) and time sync to get properly
