Can't connect to domain computers until reboot
- by thealliedhacker
I have a domain with about 300 Windows 7 and XP machines, with the domain controllers running Server 2003.
Sometimes, I lose the ability to communicate/authenticate with some of the machines until I reboot my computer. This also happens from other computers and regardless of user account and operating system.
In other words, say I'm on ComputerA, and I can't connect to ComputerX. I can go to ComputerB and connect to ComputerX, but ComputerB may not be able to connect to ComputerY. If you reboot ComputerA, then it will be able to connect to ComputerX again.
Here are some messages from various utilities:
sc: [SC] OpenSCManager FAILED 1722: The RPC server is unavailable.
mmc (compmgmt.msc): Computer (computer name) cannot be managed. The network path was not found.
explorer (\\computer): Windows cannot access \\(computer name).
ping: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss) / Average = 1ms
