[BUG] In Windows Salt dies when started from the command line when no connection to Active Directory

[H20-17]

Description
For a computer probably already joined to active directory, salt will not start from the command line. Fortunately it still runs as a service. This probably has something to do with salt being ran as the Administrator user rather than the system user.

Setup
No specific setup other than have the minion joined to active directory.

Steps to Reproduce the behavior

1. Make sure that the minion cannot talk to active directory. In my case the minion could still talk to the salt master, just not active directory. Edit: Also be sure to be an active directory user in the Administrators group.

2. open a cmd windows as Administrator.

3. Try running salt-minion-debug.bat

You will see output like:

The salt-minion service is not started.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3521.

Expected behavior
Ideally salt will run even if it can't talk to the domain controller.
