Ip-robot issue
That can occasionally happen as we can't control which IP is provided from the data center when we attach a dedicated/static IP to your ROC. It has been much more rare with newer accounts though. What we suggest to do in this case is:
1. Re-provision the ROC. Delete the ROC and then re-provision it (We recommend first disabling the ROC for 10 minutes, and then deleting it & reprovisioning so the users don't lose connectivity). 2. Wait it out. After a couple of weeks of regular use the IPs reputation should reset.
RDP - reporting disconnects every few minutes
Please run the following on the client machine
On client: Local Group Policy Editor
→ Local Computer Policy → Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → Windows Components → Remote Desktop Services → Remote Desktop Connection Client → Turn Off UDP On Client → Enabled
Make sure to update group policies after ( gpupdate /force) to make sure the changes take affect.
Network Drive issues - connecting ways IP/Hostname
Please go to ROC-DNS in the left menu of the managed company portal.
Then go to the “Local DNS Records” under ROC-DNS. Please add the fully qualified domain name and the local ip address of the local records there to make sure they propagate.
