Hi, Thanks for posting here. According to your description. To troubleshoot this issue, You may need to check the server Host(A) record in DNS server and client machine's DNS server setting. Please do the steps following: 1. Run "nslookup" in a command line on the client. 2. Check whether it's point to your DNS server correctly. If not, please ensure your client's NIC point to the right DNS server. 3. Type the server's FQDN name, Enter. 4. Check it resolves the Server IP address correctly. If not, open the DNS manager on your server, check if the server's Host (A) is exist and correct. Wilson Jia - MSFT
