Tha Problem was WAC on W10. I installed WAC on W11 PC and now its working fine.
Better avoid WAC on Windows Client and use a Windows Server Core VM, 2022 or 2025. En-us native language.
Verify Network Adapter Configuration
- Check Physical Network Adapters:
- On both servers, open Device Manager.
- Verify that all physical network adapters are enabled and functional.
- Look for adapters marked with a red "X" (disabled) or yellow warning icon (driver issues).
- Check Virtual Network Adapters:
- If using virtual adapters (e.g., from Hyper-V or a virtual switch), ensure they are correctly configured and not in a disabled state.
List All Network Adapters: Get-NetAdapter | Select-Object Name, Status, InterfaceDescription
List Hidden Network Adapters:
Get-PnpDevice -Class Net -Status Unknown,Error | Select-Object Name, Status
nable Disabled Adapters: If any adapter is disabled, enable it:
Enable-NetAdapter -Name "AdapterName"
Check Network Binding Order
- Open Network Connections (ncpa.cpl) on both servers.
- Ensure that all required adapters are listed and enabled.
- Ensure the network binding order is correct for cluster communication and storage traffic:
- Priority order: Cluster communication, Storage, Management.
- erver Manager > Local Server > NIC Teaming.
- Verify that all adapters in the team are active and configured correctly.
- Ensure the team is visible and operational in Get-NetAdapter output.
