#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : Event 5719 -- no domain controller available for the domain Fix : Repair DC location Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/srv-netlogon-5719 Run as : Elevated PowerShell Expect : 40 minutes Risk : low Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX It happens outside of boot, or users are seeing failures. HOW TO UNDO IT Remove-ADReplicationSubnet for anything you added in error. 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.
