Recently a Webroot Bug : https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2114911-netlogon-5820-endpoint-duplicate-windows-10 and https://community.webroot.com/t5/Known-Issues-KB/Netlogon-is-not-starting-after-Reboot/ta-p/316119 Had caused Netlogon service to not start on some machines which stops group policy running. We needed to deploy the following which ran a script when it detected netlogon stopped :

SCHTASKS /Create /TN “System_NETLOGON_5820” /TR c:\Scripts\netstartnetlogon.cmd /SC ONEVENT /RL Highest /RU SYSTEM /EC SYSTEM /MO “*[System[Provider[@Name=’NETLOGON’] and EventID=5820]]” /F

With netstartnetlogon.cmd stored on the local machine in C:\Scripts\containing “net start netlogon”

You can deploy a schedule task remotelty using :

SCHTASKS /Create /s %machinename% /TN “System_NETLOGON_5820” /TR c:\Scripts\netstartnetlogon.cmd /SC ONEVENT /RL Highest /RU SYSTEM /EC SYSTEM /MO “*[System[Provider[@Name=’NETLOGON’] and EventID=5820]]” /F

Then Run it remotely using

SCHTASKS /run /s %machinename% /TN “System_NETLOGON_5820”

However it seemed a long method to go through all the machines with this. I used BatchPatch to deploy the netstartnetlogon.cmd files into the Folder on each machine , then used the Deploy Software/Patch/Script/Regkey to deploy and run the file :

createscheduledtask.bat
