not Visible on the Network Despite Access

Question

10 out of 80 computers in total are on the same hardware. I installed windows by cloning this 10 computer and reactivated it with the keys in the bios. I chose the hostnames according to the user. only these computers do not appear on the network. There is an access in the form of "\\hostname", I can ping. FDRes services are running. When I reinstalled windows on one of these computers, the network problem was resolved. I think it's a problem with cloning.

-The computers are connected to the domain.

-Firewall, services and network profiles are configured correctly. The settings that should be standard were checked.

-I can ping.

-I can access in the form \hostname

-There is no loss of functionality other than being visible from within the network.

I look forward to your help in this matter.

Hello there,

Make sure that the following options are checked in the Private network profile section:

Turn on network discovery + Turn on automatic setup of network connected devices;

Turn on file and printer sharing;

Allow Windows to manage homegroup connections (recommended).

Is there anything in event viewer?

I would suggest you to use proc mon to identify if there is nothing on the event viewer.

Check if there are any resource locks applied to the resource group or resources. Locks can prevent certain operations, including viewing or moving resources. If you have a "CanNotDelete" lock, it could affect visibility and movement.

Hope this resolves your Query !!
