Windows 10 Can Not Access Sysvol and Netlogon

Why: Windows 10 became more securely, so you can’t access sysvol & netlogon shares via UNC paths

Solution: Edit Group Poilicy

Computer -> Administrative Templates -> Network -> Network Provider -> Hardened UNC Paths, enable the policy and click “Show” button.

Enter your server name (\\servername) into “Value name” and enter the following text RequireMutualAuthentication=0,RequireIntegrity=0,RequirePrivacy=0     into the “Value” field.

Logon scripts do not run for five minutes after a user logs on to a Windows 10 computer

Why:

A new Group Policy setting, “Configure Logon Script Delay,” that controls the behavior of logon scripts is stored in the following location:

Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Group Policy

Solution:

If you want the logon scripts to run at user logon without any delay:  Disabled it:

Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Group Policy: Configure Logon Script Delay ==> Disabled

If you want to change the time that the Group Policy client waits until it runs the logon scripts, Enable it: you can set the time accordingly.

Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Group Policy: Configure Logon Script Delay ==> Enabled
