Unable to browse SHARES on on server when using CNAME

I had this question after viewing Problem with CNAME in DNS and browsing fileshare.

I have a Windows 2016 server that I just built for my company but when I click "Start", Run, \\ServerCName\, it should normally give me a list of all the SHARES on the server but it does not.  I tried adding the following to the registry "DisableStrictNameChecking" but still no luck.  Please Help?  Thanks.

Try NET USE Z: \\servername\folder   , then authenticate. Does this work?   You need to add Folder name to above.
