Network path was not found

I'm using PDQ Deploy Free Version on my DC.  Deploying package to install Chrome to a remote laptop on the domain.  DNS is correct on the laptop.  Laptop is connected via VPN.  I can ping the laptop from the DC as well as find it (correct IP) using nslookup.  I use Deploy and select the device from Active Directory Computers, but it fails with "The network path was not found." error.  What should I check to resolve this?

    Hi Pankerson,
    start PDQ Deploy, go HELP > Open Remote Repair
    select Other computer and enter the remote computer's name. Click analyze.

    4 test failed.

    Connect to IPC$ Share

    Access Admin$ Share

    Create Service

    Read Privileges

    All have message "The network path was not found."

    The computer is connected via Azure VPN client and has a route to the domain controller. I suspect it is probably a DNS issue, but I can't figure out what it is.

    This sounds more like a firewall problem on the target machine.

    You can try to create specific firewall rule where you allow all incoming traffic from your IP address and test it again.

    Hello Oluwanifemi Falabi,

    this is a typical situatiion, where the firewall is blocking the connection. Are you on "Private network" or "Public network" profile?
