We’ve been making a lot of changes regarding security – we recently added Bitdefender and I’ve been going through different identified misconfigurations and building GPOs to resolve identified threats. Some of these were done to our domain controllers, but things really broke when I accidently turned off file and print sharing on the DCs. This broke “everything”. I reenabled file and print sharing, and was able to restore domain functions, however, I have a couple odd issues hanging on.
While I can get to the netlogon and sysvol shares, I from a domain joined computer, I cannot get to my domain root “\\\\domain.local” and receive “error code 0x80070035 – the network path was not found”
If I navigate to “domain.local\\netlogon” or \\sysvol I can open the share.
From the DCs, I \*can\* get to that space, and both the netlogon and sysvol shares are displayed
From the DCs, if I navigate to either of my DCs via computer name “\\\\DC01” or “\\\\DC02” I get the shares. However, if I try to access the shaves via the IP address of a different DC, it fails with error code 0x80004005 – Unspecified error. I CAN connect to the servers own IP address and display the shares.
I’ve removed ALL group policies from the DCs, though I know that might not “undo” what might have been done. The FWs for the domain profile on both are currently disabled.
Any thoughts on where to start with this?
