hi,

it looks network connectivity issue. event 1030 occurs when there absence of authenticated connectivity computer domain controller.

if enable following policy:
computer configuration\administrative templates\system\always wait network @ computer startup , logon
issue disappear?

if not, suggest check network connectivity(can ping domain controller clients or vice versa?), verify dns settings in domain.
best practices dns client settings on domain controller.
