Answer 1

This is related to the disabling netlogon answer. It turned out that turning off netlogon was giving me issues with networked drives so it was a nuisance to disable it. I discovered that a long time I switched my dns provided to google's public dns. This turns out to be a very bad idea in a corporate domain. I switched it back to auto-detect dns and the problem went away.
