I have a network, where the Active Directory Domain Controllers run Windows Server 2019.

We have an old SharePoint server running Windows Server 2003 SP2 running as a virtual machine on an old Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V server.

We recently had to rebuild our domain controller. That used to run Windows Server 2012R2, but now everything got upgraded to Windows Server 2019 except the old Hyper-V box and the old SharePoint virtual machine.

I added the Hyper-V server to the domain with no issues. I was able to make the old SharePoint server as a Workgroup computer, however when I try adding that to the new domain controller, I receive the error message:

The specified network name is no longer available

Upon entering the domain name and clicking the OK button, I receive the dialog box requesting my system admin domain credentials. I successfully enter the credentials, the login dialog box disappears but in its place comes a message box that states that the network name is no longer available.

I did try changing the computer name prior to joining the domain to something new. Although that should not be a factor, I covered my bases. That had no effect.

Thoughts?

  • May be due to SMB1 is now disabled by default. Wouldn't recommended it, but that may be it. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/file-server/…

  • @GregAskew I saw that link, but I did not have SMB1 as an entry, so I ignored it. I added that entry now and tried both a 0 and a 1 with reboots and same problem. Commented Jul 1, 2020 at 15:36

  • @jfrmilner The command repeatedly yields "NOTE The option name includes the equal sign." Commented Jul 1, 2020 at 20:47
  • Maybe it needs a space after the equals sc config srv start= auto. Failing that set the Server service to Automatic using services.msc and be sure it and the Computer Browser and Workstation services are running before retrying.
