What's the best way to handle this (in a way where I won't see this again) on our Active Directory 2008R2 network?

Best Answer

Activate SMBv2 support on your DC (For the NETLOGON and SYSVOL's volume) (Check there HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters)

I suspect only SMBv1 is activated at the moment we talk.

(Or re-activate SMBv1 on the Windows 10 in the short term)

Newest Windows 10 build remove SMBv1 support for security reason.
