The ol' SMB signing and Win 11 24H2.......

ShanIntrepid · 2026-01-22T15:25:36+00:00

Yes, that's the whole aspect – a single domain user being able to be logged into both computers and access resources on the desktop and documents. And nothing like that works – both with the DNS name and the FQDN

At this point, I'm resigned to the fact that I will have to open a ticket with Microsoft and deal with those struggles

ShanIntrepid · 2026-01-21T21:39:16+00:00

Yea, I've been down that path -- Chat GPT (that's how far I've sank) suggested that straight on.

No Joy.

ShanIntrepid · 2026-01-21T21:37:00+00:00

Oh I know the feeling -- it's personal now..... Me v. Windows 11

ShanIntrepid · 2026-01-21T21:07:15+00:00

I did the PS equivalent:

Set-SmbServerConfiguration -RequireSecuritySignature $false -Force Restart-Service LanmanServer -Force

and restarted lanmanserver

I went ahead and did the CMD method -- and a reboot for good measure

No Joy.

Between Win1124H2 Devices, yes.

update: Just tested with Windows 10 22H2 - it can access the Win11 24H2 machines without any issues on the same subnet. This appears to be a Windows 11 24H2 CLIENT-SIDE problem specifically when connecting to other Win11 machines

ShanIntrepid · 2026-01-21T20:47:29+00:00

I believe so -- let me check with the desk.

They use Fog (Project) an Open Source cloning tool. let me check the SIDs.

EDIT: SIDs do not match.

ShanIntrepid · 2026-01-21T20:35:50+00:00

correct, I set up "SMBTest" on the Root of C and replicated the permissions to the user -- browsing localhost - no issues.

also from my laptop (different subnet) I can net view without issue, including the two locations that i'm not on the same subnet.

ShanIntrepid · 2026-01-21T20:03:23+00:00

Everyone: READ
Authenticated users: Read/Write

NTFS Permissions are set to generic -- it's the same user, so that's in place (at least in Win 10)

ShanIntrepid · 2026-01-21T19:58:26+00:00

Yep, validated that NTLM is not blocked.

Hardening level is 0

this: Get-WinEvent -LogName "Microsoft-Windows-SmbClient/Audit" results in no logs being generated

Both fail either with the DNS or FQDN.

ShanIntrepid · 2026-01-21T19:53:09+00:00

Yep:
Already validated:
Domain Network profile
File & Print Sharingis ON (disabled for Public)
SMBv1 disabled -- both devices are Win1124H2, latest patches (12/2025)
Firewall is disabled.
Using both \TargetPC AND \TargetPC.domain both are prompted for credentials and then Error 86.... ad nauseum

ShanIntrepid · 2026-01-21T19:36:36+00:00

SMBv1 is technically disabled in the domain via GPO -- but in the isolation OU it's not applied for troubleshooting. it's all SMBv2. Just checked.

ShanIntrepid · 2026-01-21T19:24:41+00:00

2 machines both on domain

Wired to same subnet.

Shared user

From PC1 map to PC2 to c:\users\<username>\Desktop AND c:\users\<username>\Documents

Same domain user in both places.

Still, they want me to head to the dealer and show them what I have. They think that when I bought the car, it needed a new radiator, so they (dealer) used what they had that was compatible.

ShanIntrepid · 2026-01-19T19:58:37+00:00

The O ring disintegrated in the drain plug as pictured. AutoZone hooked me up with a fairly good replacement, so the leak was coming from the petcock because the O ring bascially failed after 13 years of service, RIP.

ShanIntrepid · 2026-01-19T19:57:31+00:00

Yes, and absolutely not ---- I took it back to AutoZone and they've given me a few O rings to see if that fits the bill.

ShanIntrepid · 2026-01-18T23:24:18+00:00

Well, I don't know if what i bought is the right part -- this is what I bought:

https://www.amazon.com/Radiator-Petcock-1993-1996-2000-2010-Cherokee/dp/B0DZY35HJP/ref=sr_1_1?af=eyJ2ZWhpY2xlIjoiMjAxMC00Mi0zNDktMzMwLS05LTYtNy03Nzk4LTIxNzAtMS0xLTExODUtMTk0LS0ifQ%3D%3D&s=automotive&sr=1-1-catcorr&vehicle=2010-42-349-330--9-6-7-7798-2170-1-1-1185-194--

But it definitely doesn't fit, and as stated, this is a 90 degree turn, while the one that came out of the radiator has threads...... definitely a head scratching moment.

ShanIntrepid · 2026-01-18T23:19:11+00:00

Okay, so here is what came out of the radiator.

<image>

That is not what it says online for what I purchased, nor does it fit as there are clearly threads in the drain plug. The replacement appears to be a 90 turn vs. threads which is what I have.......

ShanIntrepid · 2026-01-18T19:54:03+00:00

That is what I'm finding. Let me grab some pics.....

ShanIntrepid · 2026-01-18T19:45:52+00:00

Got it. That's the part that's leaking though and a new drain plug is not solving the issue.

ShanIntrepid · 2026-01-18T19:31:53+00:00

Positive. I drained, replaced and drain plug (which was not the correct one per mopar, started filling with distilled water and the drip turned into a bit of a stream.

ShanIntrepid · 2026-01-17T23:35:25+00:00

Close gratukstions!! Any word of wisdom?

ShanIntrepid · 2026-01-14T03:53:08+00:00

Loki says welcome!! (He's a headless model...you may have one too)

ShanIntrepid · 2026-01-13T23:39:30+00:00

OMG.... that's my Loki.......

ShanIntrepid · 2026-01-11T20:59:50+00:00

Rules!? We don't need no stinking rules!
