    Hi，

    This error can occur due to several reasons, including network connectivity issues, incorrect DNS settings, or services not running properly.

    1. Ensure that the network connection between the client and the server is stable. Verify that the necessary ports for RPC are not blocked. RPC uses port 135 for the Endpoint Mapper and dynamically assigned ports between 1024 and 65535. You can stop Windows Firewall temporarily to see if the issue persists.
    2. Make sure that the DNS settings are correct. Incorrect DNS settings can prevent the RPC server from being located.
    3. Restart the RPC services manually. Ensure that the "TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper" and "Remote Registry" services are running and set to start automatically after restart.
    4. Verify correct Time and Time Zone settings.
