I have a AD on an OVH server with WS2019 installed.
When I try to join the domain, I have the following error message: Network Path was not found
The server's ip is static, the client has the server as primary DNS.
I can ping the server with the ip and I can ping the domain
I disabled ipv6 on client and server
The server's primary DNS is his public ip and the secondary is 127.0.0.1
I configured the DNS so it

    Is this a single domain controller? Try restarting the Network Location Awareness service.

    That is one issue but usually resolves itself in 10 minutes or so. The bigger issue is
    The DFS Replication service failed to register the WMI providers. Replication is disabled until the problem is resolved.

    Since a new installation I'd suggest clean installing it, patch fully and try again.

    It didn't. I builded this server today so I don't have backup.
    The problem cannot be due to "The DNS server is waiting for Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) to signal that the initial synchronization of the directory has been completed." ?

    What's the history here? Did this domain controller just break? If so you may want to consider restoring a recent known good backup.
