I can ping the node, I cannot browse the node using simple hostname

If you are in a jam and you cannot open a folder on an SMB share without using a fully qualified domain name FQDN try this:

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters" RequireSecureNegotiate -Value 0 -Force



Make sure to run this in powershell.  Make sure you are running as an administrtator.

Here are the symptoms:
-You can ping and the node resolves
- You can browse only by ip
-You can browse only by FQDN
                       -example: \\servername.domain.local\share

-You cannot browse using simple name
                        -example: \\servername

If you use the simple host name it gives error :
