No error codes are displayed, but NIC2's "No network access" status and "Unidentified network / Public network" classification indicate a connectivity issue on that interface.

Is it the domain controller?

Tech A 2025-02-03 13:00

yup

Tech B 2025-02-03 13:00

Are ssdp and upnp services running?

Tech A 2025-02-03 13:01

Great!

Tech B 2025-02-03 13:02

And why is there nic2 on an unidentified network?

Tech B 2025-02-03 13:02

Have u tried rebooting the server?

Tech A 2025-02-03 13:03

I rebooted it, had to start ssdp first then upnp

Tech B 2025-02-03 13:03

So, Is it working now?

Tech A 2025-02-03 13:04

now shared doesn't go back to OFF, but no access from pc's to server shares

Tech A 2025-02-03 13:04

no clue, it's on public network and in PS it shows as domain network 😵

Tech B 2025-02-03 13:04

Whats the story with the nic2?

Tech B 2025-02-03 13:05

U cannot have unidentified network on DC

Tech B 2025-02-03 13:05

Also, can u access the shares from the server itself? Localhost ?

Tech A 2025-02-03 13:06

I know, but can't switch it to private. System seems corrupted because can't access some settings from settings ui>

Tech B 2025-02-03 13:07

If its unidentified, there is no internet, disable it. Or assign a static ip

Tech A 2025-02-03 13:13

after restart both nic's went to domain network But on pc's it's asking for credentials, when i enter domain cred's even admin i get

Male sure the pc is pointed to the correct dns, reboot the wks to re-authenticate

Tech A 2025-02-03 13:16

hmm that's not it, shares are not accessible even from server level

Tech B 2025-02-03 13:16

Ok, check if smb2 is enabled

Tech A 2025-02-03 13:17

# Fix domain controller file sharing when network profile and UPnP services fail

## Problem

A domain controller server lost access to all shared folders, preventing OMS from functioning. File sharing settings would automatically switch back to "off" after being enabled. The server had two network interfaces: NIC1 showing as a private network with internet access, and NIC2 showing as an "Unidentified network" with public network profile and no network access. The UPnP Device Host service failed to start with Error 1068 indicating dependency service failure. Even after resolving the network profile issues, workstations could not access server shares and received "Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name" errors when attempting to connect with domain credentials.

## Resolution

1. Start the SSDP Discovery service first, then start the UPnP Device Host service to resolve the dependency error
2. Reboot the server to allow both network interfaces to properly register as domain networks
3. If NIC2 remains unidentified with no internet access, either disable it or assign a static IP address
4. Verify SMB2 is enabled using PowerShell: `Get-WindowsFeature FS-SMB1, FS-SMB2`
5. Ensure workstations are pointed to the correct DNS server and reboot them to re-authenticate with the domain

Note: If shares remain inaccessible even from the server level after these steps, the issue may require additional SMB protocol troubleshooting or system file integrity checks.
