Hello Gurmeet!

What is it you are trying to access? A Windows share? Has this been working previously?

The error "The specified network name is no longer available" is usually associated with a DNS or WINS errors, if this is a share, can you access it by using the IP address?

Is this share in the same domain as the computer/server you are trying to access the share from?

Best regards,
Leon

This is server domain controller (Windows Server 2012 R2) and not able to access the server.

Also AD Replication is not working

Are you able to ping this Domain Controller (DC)?

What errors are you receiving regarding the AD replication?
