  1. Click Start<\/strong>, click Run<\/strong>, type regedit, and then click OK<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  2. Locate the following subkey in Registry Editor:<\/li>\n
  3. \u00a0HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\Netlogon\\Parameters<\/li>\n
  4. In the details pane, right-click the SysvolReady<\/strong> flag, and then click Modify<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  5. In the Value data<\/strong> box, type 0, and then click OK<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  6. Again in the details pane, right-click the SysvolReady <\/strong>flag, and then click Modify<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  7. In the Value data<\/strong> box, type 1, and then click OK<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Restart the netlogon service. copy the content of the SYSVOL from healthy DC, reboot or restart twice the NETLOGON .<\/p>\n

    You might run into a missing NETLOGON folder only after that. If so, check the folder c:\\windows\\sysvol\\domain<\/strong>\u00a0 inside you might find<\/p>\n

    a folder called “NtFrs_PreExisting___See_EventLog<\/strong>“,<\/p>\n

    copy the folders inside it (Policies+Scripts) to to father folder = c:\\windows\\sysvol\\domain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Wait few minute and Restart the netlogon service twice again. the NETLOGON folder should re-appear again and now<\/p>\n

    the client can do login to the server !<\/p>\n

    In addition when moving the domain to windows 2016 we might need to configure value in the local GPO in order to fix the access<\/p>\n

    to NETLOGON\u00a0 & SYSVOL via IP address . run:<\/p>\n

    gpedit.msc -> computer configuration -> Administrative Templates ->Network-> network provider -> Hardend UNC paths -><\/p>\n

    Click enable & show, enter the UNC server name (\\\\Server name) in “Value Name” field -> in the “value” field enter :<\/p>\n

    RequireMutualAuthentication=0,RequireIntegrity=0,RequirePrivacy=0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    -> click O.K -> run (in cmd) gpupdate \/force<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \n

     <\/p>\n
