Hi,
I have a very odd problem that occured 2 or 3 times now over the past 6
weeks but (apparently) totally at random: All of a sudden all (as far
as I know) computers lose connection with the DC. The networkshares
appear empty, trying to connect manually to a share also fails ("can't
connect" etc) and a warning balloon appears on clients stating the
connection to the DC is lost, but you can work off-line. My remote
desktop connection to the DC, however, remains online.
No entry whatsoever in the eventvwr (only an IIS-htm-help-file-error at
about that same time). A reboot of the server helps, but the progress
bar when starting windows remains on 3/4 awfully long.
DC is windows 2000 server, clients are windows 2000 pro.
The environment was set up by other people who were pretty sloppy on a
number of counts (they have left NO documentation of anything
whatsoever), and I'm not the most experienced sysadmin ever, so I'm a
bit worried about all this. It just seems illogical, but SOMETHING has
to cause this.
What could cause a sudden drop of all client connections of a DC?
Freely thinking, could it be something with licenses, or DNS-cache?
Anything else?
