If it's anything like that, the network trace will show it happening.
The problem I have now is only a few windows 7 desktops/laptops are experiencing the freeze so it only happens about twice a week, windows XP seems to be fine now. I have updated the windows 7 realtek drivers as they are known to cause networking problem on the windows side. I have not seen and companywide freeze either, it is currently one person at a time, so the AD repairs I did probably resolved my major issue. I have had the suggestion of moving the samba as a more known quantity and better logging. At least then I can see if my high kernel usage (60%) is reduced or not. There seems to be a problem with the dtrace smb provider so I cannot use dtrace. Is there any fix for this?
