Hello:

I just installed Windows Server 2022. After installing it, I saw that my domain was recognized by the internet, it says that I was connected to stonenandstone1.com. After rebooting the machine, it now says that I have Network, internet access and is no longer showing that I am connected to the domain stoneandstone1.com. Can someone please tell me what happened and how to fix it so that it shows that I am connected to stsoneandstone1.com. One last thing, when I installed the network on Windows Server 2016 essentials, it showed that I was connected to stoneand stone1.local. Further, when installing the 2022, it did not give me the option to insert my domain information, can someone tell me what happened to that in windows server 2022, thanks for any and all responses, Allen

    2016 essentials was the last version to have the essentials experience role so what you describe may be normal and expected behavior.

    Hello there,

    If your domain is not being seen by the internet, there could be several potential causes. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

    Check DNS settings: Ensure that your domain's DNS settings are correctly configured. Verify that the domain is pointing to the correct DNS servers provided by your domain registrar or DNS hosting provider. Double-check the DNS records, including the A, CNAME, and MX records, to ensure they are set up correctly.

    DNS propagation: Keep in mind that it can take time for DNS changes to propagate across the internet. Changes to DNS settings typically require propagation time, which can range from a few minutes to several hours or even up to 48 hours. Wait for sufficient time to allow the DNS changes to propagate before troubleshooting further.

    Check domain registration status: Confirm that your domain is properly registered and that it has not expired. If your domain has expired, it may not be visible on the internet. Contact your domain registrar to verify the registration status and resolve any issues.

    Firewall and network configuration: Verify that your network's firewall or router is properly configured to allow incoming connections for your domain. Check if any firewall rules or network settings are blocking access to your domain. Consult your network administrator or hosting provider for assistance with network configuration.

    Domain name server issues: It's possible that there could be issues with the DNS servers themselves. Check for any reported outages or problems with the DNS servers provided by your domain registrar or DNS hosting provider. Contact their support for further assistance if needed.

    Clear local DNS cache: If you've made recent changes to the DNS settings or if your computer's DNS cache is outdated
