Windows 10: "Network Error" Windows cannot access\\*domain-server name*\users\*directory name*\folder -...

Getting "Network Error" Windows cannot access\\*domain-server name*\users\*directory name*\folder You do not have permission to access:; In my directory, I can access some folders, both as a user, and most as an administrator. But not all in either. In two folders where I can access one but not the other as a user, the sharing/permission settings are identical. I can access both as an administrator. What I do notice, when I am logged in as a user, I cannot see the file size in the "general" properties tab for the folder I cannot open. Seems to be a "read" permission issue. I tried to change t

Active Directory domain names can’t be resolved warning in Windows Server Essentials 2016

I get the warning below in Windows Server Essentials 2016. (The adapter already points to the server address.) Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Everything still works! Thanks:

" Active Directory domain names can’t be resolved Alert details: Windows Server Essentials cannot resolve Active Directory domain names using the current DNS settings."

 

New server wit previous domain name

We recently had to replace a Windows Server 2011 with Windows Server 2019. This was done by building a new server rather than doing an upgrade. When building the new server, it was given the same computer name and domain as the previous server. We removed
workstations from the domain and then added them back in top the domain. Now the network drives that are connected on the workstations using Group Policies don't always appear. Running gpupdate / force gives the error:

Computer policy could not be updated successfully. The following errors were encountered:

The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows could not resolve the computer name. This could be caused by one of more of the following:

a) Name Resolution failure on the current domain controller.

b) Active Directory Replication Latency (an account created on another domain controller has not replicated to the current domain controller).

User Policy could not be updated successfully. The following errors were encountered:

The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows could not resolve the user name. This could be caused by one of more of the following:

a) Name Resolution failure on the current domain controller.

b) Active Directory Replication Latency (an account created on another domain controller has not replicated to the current domain controller).

To diagnose the failure, review the event log or run GPRESULT /H GPReport.html from the command line to access information about Group Policy results.

What can we do to get these systems to communicate properly with the new domain controller?

 

?? How do I PW protect Folders in windows

hmmm?
Sharing files and folders overview You can share the files and folders stored on your computer, on a network, and on the Web. The method you choose depends on whom you want to share files with, and what computer they will use to access the files.

When you share files or folders, they are not as protected as they are when you do not share them. People with access to your computer or your network might be able to read, copy, or change files that are in a shared folder. You should always be aware that the files and folders that you share are available to other people and be sure to monitor your shared files and folders on a regular basis.

Important

If your computer is not joined to a domain, you can use the Network Setup Wizard to automatically turn file and printer sharing on or off. To start the Network Setup Wizard, click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Setup Wizard.
If you both use the same computer

You can put the files you want to share in the Shared Documents folder. Files stored in the Shared Documents folder or its subfolders are always available to other users on your computer.

Step-by-step procedure
Note

If you are connected to a network domain, the Shared Documents, Shared Pictures, and Shared Music folders are not available.
If both computers are on the same network

You can share a folder or drive on your computer with others on the network. You can also control whether the files in the shared folder can be modified by other users.

If your computer is connected to a network domain, use this procedure:

If your computer is connected to a workgroup, use this procedure:

Step-by-step procedure
Note

If you are connected to a network domain, you will need to set the Access control for the folder or drive after sharing it. For more information, go to To set, view, change, or remove file and folder permissions.
If you want to share your files online

You can publish pictures and documents on the Web using the Web Publishing Wizard. The files will be stored in a private, online folder that you manage.

Step-by-step procedure

If you don't want others to access your files

You can prevent other users from accessing your folders and the files they contain. When your computer is connected to a domain, this is called setting permissions for your file or folder. When your computer is connected to a workgroup, this is called making your folders private.

If your computer is connected to a network domain, use this procedure:
