Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] XP can't see
PDC
Or a flaky blade in a router. I've seen a bad
router blade cause funny network issues "some of the time" more than a few
times.
I know the reboot of the box makes the server look like
the culprit but you never know.
have you looked at a packet trace? What does that
show?
I
have experienced similar situation where couple of xp clients just couldn't
connect to the server on times. Norton AV turned out to be a culprit in my
situation. The xp machines were running a very old copy of Norton Anti
Virus. I removed the Norton and installed the latest version of Mcafee and
machines never had a problem again.
I
also wouldn't rule out a possible bad NIC on the
boxes.
Hope
this helps.
Thanks,
Sal
I have a server that is assigned all the W2K AD roles, RID,
Infrast.,PDC, GC, etc. It also houses 90% of the user data. Some Windows XP
machines cannot access the shares from time to time. You can't event ping
the server when this happens. It does not happen all the time. The
other 2 servers in AD never have the problem. A reboot of the server
normally fixes the problem. Not a lot of activities in the log files,
nothing out of the ordinary.
Thanks in advance for any thought/solution.
Thank you,
