    Not much to go on but make sure the domain controller and problem member both have the static ip address of DC listed for DNS and no others such as router or public DNS. Also check the connection uses default gateway on remote network.

    Both the DNS server and domain controller are verified and running 100%. The VPN tunnel doesn't work by resolving names. And so client users can't access the remote desktop.

    Hello

    To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

    1. Check if the DNS server is configured correctly on the VPN server. You can do this by going to the Network and Sharing Center, clicking on Change adapter settings, right-clicking on the VPN connection, and selecting Properties. Then, click on the Networking tab, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), and click on Properties. Make sure that the DNS server address is correct.
    2. Check if the DNS suffix is configured correctly on the VPN client. You can do this by going to the Network and Sharing Center, clicking on Change adapter settings, right-clicking on the VPN connection, and selecting Properties. Then, click on the Networking tab, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), and click on Properties. Click on the Advanced button, go to the DNS tab, and make sure that the DNS suffix is correct.
    3. Check if the VPN client is using the correct DNS server. You can do this by running the ipconfig /all command on the VPN client and checking the DNS server address.

    Best Regards,
