Tier 1 here getting thrown into the deep end. To avoid the fetal position I'm reaching out for help Reddit!
12/20 Network locations disappeared from my Network menu. My manager said this is an on going issue. Initially I could see all locations and workstations on the network, but for some reason most have disappeared. It's only happening to myself and the other IT person at our company. The weirdest thing is I can still find and access these network locations, but only after saving them to my quick access menu. I've taken the following steps...
Ensured Network Discovery and file sharing were enabled under the Private, Guest or Public and Domain tabs. Restarted workstation (INEFFECTIVE)
Tested with 3rd Party Firewall and Windows Firewall turned off (INEFFECTIVE)
Removed myself from Domain and re-added. (INEFFECTIVE)
Evaluated Services:
DNS Client is running Function Discovery Resource Publication is running (set to automatic) Ensured SSDP is running and set to automatic Ensured UPnP is running and set to automatic Restarted computer to allow Services to start at login (INEFFECTIVE)
Microsoft Forum suggested a bug appeared in the fall update causing this and gave CMD(Admin) commands to troubleshoot with:
Attempted Command Prompts as Admin:
flush DNS ip reset and renew netsh winsock reset sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi sc.exe config mrxsmb20 start= disabled Restart computer (INEFFECTIVE)
The net result of this was the Netlogon Service stopping and required a system restore from local user.
Need to re-evaluate where issue is coming from and why specific computers are losing specific network file locations.
Microsoft forum suggested turning Offline file Sync off in case the network locations were taking too long to load (INEFFECTIVE)
Evaluated whether Network Locations would load on other computers by logging into workstation SGC-108. Successfully loaded all network locations on another workstation when logged in with my profile. Does this show the issue is with the workstation with AD or is it some other network setting I didn't look over.
Resetting the network for 2 computers isn't an option. PLEASE HELP!!!
