Hi!
It drives me mad. Our Win 2008 Server was working fine for years. But recently, clients intermittently lose connection to its network shares. This often happens when Office documents are open and should be saved, or during login, when Group Policy is being read, but it seems that it can happen at anytime. It takes several minutes or a reboot of the server before the shares become available again.
When this happens, usually only one or two clients are affected at a time. Pinging the server is fine. Nslookup on the client works fine. RDP to the server is fine. Shared folders are accessible on the server. Hard disks are fine. IPv6 is not active on the server (as far as I can tell).
I have the impression that these losses of connection occurred more frequently recently, to a point where working becomes painful on some clients. I tried everything I knew and found on the net, and I am still absolutely clueless. Can anyone help?
Best
Carsten
