@Sebastian-Roth Thanks for the suggestions, I hadn’t even thought of the possibility that it could be the special characters in the password. I went ahead and created a new domain admin account and used only letters and it worked!

I’ll need to do some more testing to see if it was truly the special characters causing the issue or if creating a new account triggered something else.

I’m sure this is mentioned somewhere but what takes precedence in the AD settings, or settings in general actually? There are the defaults, which seem to be just like an autofill, then group level settings then finally per-host settings. If the group to host settings are different which one takes precedence? Specifically, for the AD stuff. Trying to figure out if I need to change each machine individually.

Edit: Updating the settings on my groups also updated the settings on my hosts, yay!

Thanks for taking the time to help me!

@Sebastian-Roth I don’t want to say definitely that there is a character issue since it could have been a whole host of other things that changing the domain account and password fixed. I’ll try to give it a test when I get some more free time in the next week or so to see if that’s really the issue.

Thanks for all your help!
