#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : "The specified network name is no longer available" Fix : Rule out offloading and idle timeouts on the client path Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/srv-smb-network-name Run as : Elevated PowerShell on the client Expect : 30 minutes Risk : low Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX One machine is affected. HOW TO UNDO IT Re-enable the offload settings as in step 4. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
