Can't ping new 2016 server

[steven_layton_sl]

I have built a new Windows 2016 server, to replace one of our 2008r2 servers. I can ping FROM the new 2016 server, but I can't ping the new server from other existing servers. All of the network settings look right.

 

This is likely a DNS thing, I think, but I can't work it out.

 

The new server is, amongst other things, taking over as the Spiceworks server from the old one. While I have migrated Spiceworks across and it works on the new server its now on, it isn't working from other servers or stations.

 

Ideas?

windows firewall enabled?

incorrect subnet / gateway?

Checked firewall settings? Disable it for a moment, try ping it and if it works, you may need to adjust the settings

Bingo. Disabled the firewall and its now working. Looks like I need to tinker, thanks!

In Inbound Rules, select “File and printer Sharing (Echo Request – ICMPv4-In)” and enable

Many thanks - pinging happily now!

Since 2012 R2 Windows Server blocks inbound pings by default. Rather a good idea.
