I am having problems with workstations. When a user
first logs on, they can access any server, but after a
while, the name/password screen comes up if they try to
use the same resources. Relogging will allow them to
once again connect. I am running Active Directory on
2000 server pro. The problem comes when connecting to
either a raid on an NT system or a 2000 server. Anyone
know why the connection may (time out)? The networked
LOB software works fine at all times as do the network
printing.

Thanks

What kind of resource? Fileshare?

No, you are not.

You might be running it on Win2000 SERVER, or pro is
the Workstation product.

Authentication has little to do with the hardware disk system.

yes.. filesharing - network storage space.


OK then.. windows 2000 server for the ADS and xp
professional multilanguage for the workstations

the authentication problem is that the domain login seems
to expire.. I dont understand why the name/password
screen would come up.. it comes up if I try to go into
another XP system too.

The LOB software is Microsoft Attain.. formerly Navision
Attain

Hello Ace,

I had exactly the same behaviour with a Windows XP Pro as client on a Windows 2000 server network.
I had to uninstall and reinstall network card software using original drivers. By some strange reason without any configuration windows changed driver and machine was losing connection after a few minutes.

David, we'll need more specific configuration information at this time. Can
we see an ipconfig /all from the client and from your domain controller
please? Can you also state for us your AD DNS domain name?

What sort of errors are in the Event viewer (any machine)? Please post the
Event ID #s please.

As for the LOB s/w, it wouldn't really matter what software you're running,
since assuming that authentication to it's resources are thru AD, then we
need to look away from it, unless you;re saying the data you are trying to
access is through Attain itself?

You also said something in the other thread about the name changing on the
start menu ?

Does this happen to all your clients or one specific machine?

Please post that info above so we can eliminate some of the obvious
possibilities.

Thanks

My systems lose connections but generally reconnect and
never require 're-authentication' during a single logon.

That's the normal case.

Have you searched the MS knowledge base?

It sounds like a weird GPO setting or the machines are
losing the connections to the DCs -- are you DCs all
available?

I don't think it's your DCs but what the heck, have you
run DCDiag on EACH DC?

could it be something as simple as dhcp lease renewing, returning a nack?

Ok, to fill this in:

Multiple DHCP servers WITHOUT overlapping scopes (and exclusions)
One nacks the others renewal (fairly short lease periods
which correspond [2x perhaps] to his symptoms)
Client re-binds and gets a new address...
This causes DCs to require re-authentication of client MACHINE????
This causes DCs to require re-authentication of client USER????

Is that what you have in mind?

I don't know if that happens but it would not shock me.
