The dcdiag output is full of No suitable default server credential exists on this system. This will prevent server applications that expect to make use of the system default credentials from accepting SSL connections. An example of such an application is the directory server. Applications that manage their own credentials, such as the internet information server, are not affected by this.

     A warning event occurred.  EventID: 0x00009016

I like to clear this clutter.

    The fix was done by Dell Server support using Powershell command New-SelfSignedCertificate -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My -DnsName "ims.local" -FriendlyName "MySiteCertIMS" -NotAfter (Get-Date).AddYears(10)

    Do you have a CA in your environment? Are you using SSL to establish secure connections?

    If no, just ignore the warning.

    If yes, that means that no server certificate was found so you have to issue a certificate to this server.

    Hope this information can help you
