Nothing that stands out for this. I am getting replication errors that I need to solve. (having issues replicating to this DC to my COLO DC, but I wouldn't think that this would cause issues with me joining a PC to the domain at this location.)

It's been forever since I have worked with Windows domains. But today, I have to join a Windows 10 PC to a domain. I keep getting the error:
"The specified network name is no longer available."

Primary DNS is set to the DC IP on the PC .
Pinging domain name gets a reply from the DC IP as expected.

I know this is something simple, but I am not finding it.

Any ideas?

What is the secondary DNS on the network card?

^^ This -- make sure that there isn't an external DNS as backup on the machine you're trying to add to the domain, even if the DC is the primary it'll bork on joining if there's anything external to the domain as secondary / tertiary etc

OK, no longer getting the original error message. (I had an external dns set as a secondary on the PC I am trying to join). Now, I am gettiing "The target account name is incorrect"

@dbeato The secondary DNS is another domain controller on the domain. (backup)

Oh, I am attempting to join with domain admin account as well.

I'm using Win10 Pro 1909 @pirho99 I just enabled SMB1.0. Same result.

I recall something a while back with AV issues. But are you using the FQDN? domain.local or domain.whatever ?

I tried turning Windows Defender off. That's the only thing on this PC. I am using the ad.domain.net

Worth noting: I joined 2 other PCs to this domain a few weeks ago. I'm trying to remember if I made any recent changes that would have caused this but can't think of any...

Check that DC, make sure it's point to itself or another DC for it's DNS

I just checked. It is pointing to itself.

@scottalanmiller said in Internet connection sharing:

I think that the key thing here might be in interpretation of the language.

"We have another business in the building" could mean that they own two companies and those two "companies" are sharing a connection. We might use that terminology for two divisions that do different things but legally can share a connection no problem.

Or it might be some random business that just happens to be in the same building that is trying to not pay for their own Internet, in which case this is a big problem.

Everyone is assuming the second, but I had read it assuming it was the first. But both are just assumptions, to know what the best options are and what is an option really requires understanding that.

Wow, I am terrible at following up with posts in a timely manner....

Yes, it is the first. So you assumed correctly. So I think we are all set with just breaking out the connection via a switch after the modem.

Thanks!

Haven't even gotten to coffee yet.

This is not good for you. But at this point, at least here on the east coast, it close enough to 5 to skip the coffee and start on something harder. I suggest you do the same.

They will have their own router.

Is this a requirement?

Not sure 100%. Details are sketchy so far. Just in the planning stages.

That one is almost identical to the yougetsignal one. Very simple and straight forward. Do you see any risk in using these tools?

Any risks using online tools? Possibly, but your servers is already at risk since its accessible from the Internet anyway.

Yep. Agreed.

Forgot about that one. That's a good one. Thanks

We are moving into a new office building and we have the following setup:

Comcast ISP
Block of 5 static IPs from Comcast. We only use about 3 of them.

We have another business in the building that will be sharing our connection. They will have their own router.

I was thinking about just having my Edge router plug into the Comcast modem, and using my assigned IPs on the WAN interface of the Edge router like I do now. Then have the other business plug into the same Comcast router and assign the 1 IP that I am not using to their router. This should work I believe, unless I am missing something. Assuming this works, then that's great, but I would have no way to control traffic if I would want to. For example, I couldn't limit the bandwidth to the second router.

Would it be better to run the 2nd router through my Edge router? I don't want to create a double NAT situation. Is this possible? OR is it better to just do the first scenario and not worry about limiting bandwidth to the second business?

I previously used to use this website: https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ to verify open/closed ports on specific servers to the public. Do you guys use any other tool to test open/closed ports? I can do this easily with nmap of course, but I would like to preferably have a website tool to give others access to.

@JaredBusch I'd be inclined to agree. Telemetry and error reporting is enabled by default BTW on their cloud instances.

@JaredBusch said in UNMS Cloud:

UNMS is a dockerized setup by default. I assume they are spinning up a new container for each account.

Nothing is free, so I am curious, and have not been able to find, what they get out of this.

Either product testing (via telemetry, error reporting, etc)

OR

Perhaps the free price tag will entice people (MSPs, providers, etc) to use their product.

That's the only 2 things I can thing of right away.

Just migrated my stuff. Well that was incredibly easy.

@JaredBusch said in UNMS Cloud:

I've been thinking about migrating things so I dont' need to run my own instance.

Yep, One less server to manage!
