#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : Event 5719 -- no domain controller available for the domain Fix : Make the machine wait for the network before logging on Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/srv-netlogon-5719 Run as : Elevated PowerShell Expect : 20 minutes Risk : low Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX Only at startup, with no impact afterwards. This is a race, not a fault. HOW TO UNDO IT Set SyncForegroundPolicy back to 0. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
