“net view” “System error 1231 has occurred.” “Windows 10”
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/09
On my research list: none of my Windows 10 PC’s in WORKGROUP can see that other machines exist, but they can connect to each other.
C:\>net view System error 1231 has occurred.c C:\>net view System error 6118 has occurred.
On Windows 8.1 and 7 (I know: both beyond end-of-support) can see both Windows 8.1/7 machines and Windows 10 machines:
C:\>net view Server Name Remark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \\... The command completed successfully.
It is unclear on which Windows 10 release this started failing. I think it is around 1803 (April 2018 Update) or 1709 (Fall Creators Update). It fails despite all settings indicating sharing and discovery are enabled:
Things tried that failed:
Start service WebClient
Tried from an administrative command prompt, then waited a minute:
C:\net start WebClient The WebClient service is starting. The WebClient service was started successfully.
Failed.
