Hi, @

According to the error message, it seems that the connection failed because the specified network name is no longer available. I suggest you to check the network environment of your local PC.

If you want to get a solution for your kind of specific issue related to the connection problems, I suggest you to open a support ticket to get direct help from the technical support team of Microsoft.
