Fix

Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration >> Windows Settings >> Security Settings >> Local Policies >> Security Options >> "Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) clients" to "Require NTLMv2 session security" and "Require 128-bit encryption" (all options selected).
