Windows server 2016 netwrok problem

Go to solution Solved by NelizMastr,

Network discovery is turned off on Windows Server by default. You need to enable network discovery and sharing before it will show up. Also, network discovery in Windows is mostly done using ICMP iirc, which is also disabled by default in Windows Server.

I own 2 Poweredge R610 servers runing windows server 2016 datacenter.
They are configured correct 1 of them is the domain controller and I can manage the second server from the Domain controller.
But here comes the problem and a really wierd one I think.
The domain those 2 servers are on is called Domain.local and my desktop and all other PC's in my home are on (workgroup)
so in these case the servers and all other PC's in my network shutnt be able to see each other (servers to other pcs and pc to servers)
But both the 2 servers don't see each other on the network but they do see my PC and my PC only no other PC in my network.

to my understanding the dhcp service needs to be running on the domain controller for entry's on the active directory so unless your servers are on a separate vlan it may conflict with the settings in you router.

 

i dont know about servers not being able to see each other unless they have joined a domain called domain.local but there is two domains with the same name

 

its my guess anyway ive looked into setting it up but haven't got around to doing it
