Disabling SMBv1 broke Network Login

0 comments

As per the Microsoft recommendation, SMBv1 should be disabled on all servers of a domain. We made this change on our all servers. After some days, we found that we are not able to RDP into the servers and we are not able to resolve their DNS hostname as well.

After digging into the problem, I found that "NetLogon" Server was stopped. When I tried to run it, it gave me error that one of its dependency service is stopped or disabled. Later I found that it is because of "Workstation" service because it was also in stopped mode. In event log I found that it is not able to run because SMBv1 is disabled. Below are the screenshots which will show you what I am talking about.
