Distributed cache service is not configured on server(s). SharePoint 2019

Question

I have been trying to resolve this issue for awhile now and keep running into issues.

I have tried everyone from Stefan's blog post including the May 2023 CU: https://blog.stefan-gossner.com/2023/02/16/trending-issue-distributed-cache-problems-after-applying-january-2023-cu/

Get-CacheClusterHealth
Get-CacheClusterHealth : ErrorCode<ERRCAdmin040>:SubStatus<ES0001>:Failed to connect to hosts in the cluster
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-CacheClusterHealth
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-CacheClusterHealth], DataCacheException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.DataCacheException,Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Cachi
   ng.Commands.GetCacheClusterHealthCommand

Here is ClusterConfig.xml

-<advancedProperties>
<partitionStoreConnectionSettings leadHostManagement="false"/>
-<securityProperties>
-<authorization>
<allow users="WSS_ADMIN_WPG"/>
<allow users="WSS_WPG"/>
</authorization>
</securityProperties>
</advancedProperties>

AppFabric Caching Service stays down and disables itself no matter if I set it to Automatic or not.
If I try to start it on Central Admin I get this error:
Dynamic operations can only be performed in homogenous AppDomain.

Get-Cachehost gives me this

PS C:\Users\ab041222> Get-CacheHost
HostName : CachePort              Service Name            Service Status Version Info
--------------------              ------------            -------------- ------------
SHAREPT.mydomain.org:22233 AppFabricCachingService DOWN           3 [3,3][1,3]

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Hi @Amanda Berry ,

You need to remove the instance and re-add it. Try following commands:

Remove-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance

Add-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance

You could follow the instruction from below technet to repair the Distributed Cache host.
