[ltsb, 1607] No Internet access

[browolf]

At least 3 machines of different versions of windows have developed a "no internet access" problem which stops outlook 2016 working.

 

Of the two I'm familiar with one is ltsb 2016 and the other was 1803 that I upgraded to 1903.

 

this script I found

https://community.spiceworks.com/scripts/show/4340-network-connection-status-indicator-ncsi-test

 

which tests ncsi reports everything as fine.

 

Investigating Network Location Awareness when I can find time. Otherwise it's a mystery.

A thread on reddit about that today,

I think an update has caused this because the machines with the problem were fine before the summer holidays. I did the august server 2016 updates in the middle of august.

So now every win10 v1803 teachers desktop we set up now has no internet access but laptops with the same version on the wifi don't have the problem. Edited October 2, 2019 by browolf
