+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException- I see the PS in your Windows Server 2012 is old, so it is missing the commandlets. Pardon me. I do not want to ask you to install WMF 5.1, lot of complexity here and risk depending the update state.
From my end the basics look fine. netprofile and ipconfig look good. hard to TS from remote why it does not work.
what you can see it can only talk to local network.
NLA does not detect internet.
IPv4 Connectivity would be: Internet
then.
There is no other way but to debug networking, VLAN, Gateway reachable, DNS lookup (
Resolve-DNSname yourDCDNSName.domain.com
Resolve-DNSname www.google.com
if these commands do not exist try nslookup instead of Resolve-DNSName.I tried the below commands:
PS C:\Users\abc> Resolve-DNSname CompanyDNS
Name Type TTL Section IPAddress
---- ---- --- ------- ---------
CompanyDNS.company.local A 3600 Answer x.y.z.252
PS C:\Users\abc> Resolve-DNSname www.google.comName Type TTL Section IPAddress
