Hello,

Steps to Troubleshoot:

1. Check User Permissions:
   • Ensure you are logged in as an administrator.
   • Verify that your user account has the necessary permissions to access the required resources.
2. Run SFC Scan:
   • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
   • Run the command: sfc /scannow
   • Wait for the scan to complete and follow any prompts.
3. Verify Network Settings:
   • Check DNS settings and ensure that the server can resolve hostnames.
   • Test network connectivity using tools like ping or nslookup.
4. Review Registry:
   • Use the Registry Editor (regedit) to check for any misconfigurations.
   • Look for keys related to Scheduled Tasks and network connections.
5. Disable Security Software:
   • Temporarily disable antivirus and other security software to see if they are causing the issue.
6. Compare Server Configurations:
   • Compare the configurations of the affected servers with those that are working correctly.
   • Identify any differences in software, updates, or settings.
