Missing DC from Network Neighborhood

[grechmt]

We have three domain controllers in our network. One of the DC's was moved to a new switch on the same network / subnet. Now it can't be seen in Network Neighborhood. The other two DC's are there. You can still ping it and can logon to the network from it, but you can't see it in NN. The only change that took place at the time of the move was the NIC team was reconfigured. The server had two NIC's that were teamed. The team was broken and just one NIC is being used. Not sure if that is relevent, but it was the only significant change. Many servers were moved to the same switch and they all can be seen in NN, just not the domain controller. Any thoughts?

It's probably the Bindings that need looking at since it is a NetBIOS issue that is preventing it from appearing in Network Neighborhood. You can try the usual Command line tools to see what's going on NetBIOS-wise - nbtstat etc.

Have you tried to just map a drive to it from the clients? If it works, just send a batch file to the rest of the clients to map on startup. Good luck.
