    New Windows 10 PC will not connect to server 2012 r with server name


    I have a new windows 10 pc and I am trying to connect to the server with it. I can get to the server by IP address but not with the server name, in this case it is \\Server-01. It is telling me that the dns server is not responding or incorrect. I have several other PCs connected and working on this network to the server. All of the services are running and I can ping \\Server-01 at command prompt. I have flushed dns etc. The other day I had this working and now it does not. There was a third party on this trying to install software from the server and then I now have this issue. I am not sure what they did and do not know what they might have changed. The install of the software was unsuccessful and called it a network issue. To go further they could not install the software off the server with the server name so they started using the IP address to the server to see if that resolved the install. That is when I believe it stopped communicating with the server name. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you..

    :)

    IF you want to try seizing the FSMO roles to see if it will help, here is a quick guide (this should be done on the DC you want to keep):

    https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com...ation-master-roles-in-windows-server-2012-r2/

    Knowing that this is a DC now I'm really convinced that something is wrong with the AD account for this particular server. It's possible that the promotion to a DC didn't work correctly leaving you with a sort of broken DC.

    A reboot is always worth a shot; has that been tried Ahhzz? If it has, then the next step would be to demote this DC and rejoin it to the domain. Once rejoined you can run DCPromo again. Microsoft best practice is to have at least 2 DCs for redundancy.

    Also don't forget to reset the account in AD Users and Computers to avoid any SID issues.
