Windows Server 2016 - DNS/AD problem

 

Hi all - at one point our DC froze and we had to do a restart. It installed a lot of updates and then once it got up and running again we started experiencing problems with DNS, passwords, mapped drives etc - please refer to screenshots. Its as if the communication between the desktops and the server got out of sync somehow.

 

Any idea what we can do please?

 

Thank you

Check AD to see if DNS is configured for both ipv4 and ipv6 and turn on if not.

Go through this

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/networking/dns/troubleshoot/troubleshoot-dns-server

Check to see if the ip address of server didn't change and if it did you may need to change the ip within the dns pool server check.

Hi again i discovered that this seems to be an AD issue through event viewer:
 
The Security System has detected a downgrade attempt when contacting the 3-part SPN 
 
 ldap/JUPITERDC01.jupiter.local/jupiter.local@JUPITER.LOCAL 
 
 with error code "The attempted logon is invalid. This is either due to a bad username or authentication information.
 (0xc000006d)". Authentication was denied.
 
​Any ideas??
