Windows 10: Windows 10 Workstation Cannot Connect to a Server by Hostname Only By IP

Hi,


I'm having some weird issues following updating a couple of Windows 10 workstations to feature update 20H2 and wondering if anyone can give me some pointers.


Network Configuration

2 Windows 2016 servers that are configured as domain controllers and running DNS let's call them DC1 and Dc2. Both are up to date with updates. DC1 is the primary.


Workstation 1 Windows 10 laptop running feature update 20H2. This device does not have any issues showing up in the Event Viewer and can see/browse all other resources in the network EXCEPT DC2. Attempts to access this device via RDP fail immediately with the error "An Internal Error Occurred" This machine has a static IP address and an entry in DNS

This machine is no longer available to browse DC2 from the "Network" icon double-clicking DC2. If I try \\dc2 that also fails with a diagnostic error 0x80070035. I've followed all the solutions I could find that make sense for my environment and everything checks out. I'm also allowing SMB1 on this laptop. Again, even with the RDP error there's nothing in the Event Log.


I CAN browse it by using the IP address i.e. \\192.168.1.9 but CANNOT connect to it using RDP with the IP address.


Workstation 2 Windows 10 desktop running update 20H2. This machine CAN browse DC2 from both the "Network" icon AND IP address, however, it has recently started throwing a dialog at login that says "The security database on the server does not have a record for this computer". If I remove the ethernet cable and log in with cached credentials, then reconnect the cable, everything is fine until the next login.


DC1 This server has no problems browsing DC2 and I can RDP to DC2 from this box without problems. There are no issues in the Event Viewer and DNS appears to be replicating.


DC2 This server can browse all network resources and can RDP to DC1 without issue. I have made sure all necessary services are running and that it is replicating with DC1. No issues in the Event Viewer.


I ran an sfc/scannow on DC2 but this did not reveal any integrity problems


To me, this still sounds like DNS and I'm tempted to flatten and rebuild DC2 but that's a pain I just don't need in my life right now, so I'm wondering if anyone else has some suggestions?


Thanks in advance

:)

 

Windows Server 2008 R2 - Unable to RDP & Ip address keep coming to Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address

Hi All,

I got an issue with Windows Server 2008 R2 with NLB. Have tried the workaround but it doesn't resolve my issue for about a week.

Last week the server unable to ping and nslookup. I login to DNS server, and the IP/hostname still exists in DNS. After click apply once again, then suddenly the server connection and NLB working as usual. But I noticed after few hours, it still getting
lost connection.

I've disconnected the NIC, re-enter the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. But nothing make changes.

Also tried "netsh winsock reset all" and restart server.

Also checked there is no duplicate IP and hostname, and DHCP was disabled.

Is it related to DNS? Or shall I remove and re-added the IP and hostname from DNS?

Appreciate your help and any suggestions.

 

System info at the Lock/Login screen: e.g. IP, HostName...


Hi there!

I've got a Windows domain: Win2k12 R2 AD server + 200+ Windows 10 PRO workstations.

There is a way to add custom message on the login screen.

So I was wondering is there any way to display system info at the Lock Screen or at Login screen?

Registry, Group policy, Control panel and additional settings? Or even BgInfo For Lockscreen edition?))))

It's very useful to see Hostname and its IP even before logging in.

Did somebody tried to do this?

 

Set the N95's hostname

Hi,

How would I be able to set the hostname for the N95 similar to a PCs computer name? When viewing the dhcp client list on a dhcp server, the N95 shows up as having no hostname. The MAC address, along with the assigned IP address is listed though.

Any ideas? So far I have only seen how to assign a name to the phone for bluetooth purposes but this name does not show on WLAN obviously.

Thanks,

Paul
