We have a Windows Server 2012 DA server setup which is working fine. We have a few clients which for whatever reason stop connecting via DA and the only fix seems to be to re-install the OS. I've tried removing/joining to the domain, resetting the winsock ... but nothing seems to work.
If i go into control panel there is also no Direct Access icon at all.
The below is from a problematic machine. Any tips on what i can try
