Guest Scott Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Having a issue with a Win 2003 R2 server, Server is a DC, Exchange 2003, DNS, DHCP and File and Print server. Issue started about 2 weeks ago users will not be able to get to any shared folders or print. Exchange is still up and running with out a problem so the network card is not the issue. TCP/IP TOE is disabled. I've even completly disabled Symanted Endpoint Protection. But still having the issue. Nothing shows up in application or system logs. So far the only thing I have found is to do a reboot of the server to get it back up and running.
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Re: Win 2003 File and Print services stops responding Hello Scott, What do you mean with "get to any shared folders or print"? Have you mapped them with scripts or do you mean browsing with network neighbourhood? Please describe more detailed about the problems you have.

Guest Scott Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Re: Win 2003 File and Print services stops responding We currently have Shared folders on the server and shared Network printers on this server. People will be printing with out problems and access files stored on this server and then they will get a error printer not available or try to browse out to a network share on this server in Windows explorer will hang and then time out as drive not available. OS is a Mirrored drive and Data files are on a RAID 5 array. "Meinolf Weber" wrote: > Hello Scott, > > What do you mean with "get to any shared folders or print"?

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Re: Win 2003 File and Print services stops responding Hello Scott, Can you access shares with \\servername\sharename without problems? Please post an unedited ipconfig /all from server and problem client.

Guest Scott Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Re: Win 2003 File and Print services stops responding When the problem occurs they can not access the files stored on \\wolf2\public Wolf2 ipconfig DHCP enabled: No IP 10.10.10.5 subnet 255.255.255.0 dg: 10.10.10.1 DNS: 10.10.10.5 All client computers have the issue, they are a mix of WinXP and Vista Business. When the problem occurs even when on the server itself I can get to the files going through the local drives (d:\public)but not when going through the \\wolf2\public. Remote desktop still works on the server when the issue occurs. "Meinolf Weber" wrote: > Hello Scott, > > Can you access shares with \\servername\sharename without problems?

Guest pwiley@asplundh.com Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Re: Win 2003 File and Print services stops responding Has this been resolved? We are having a similar issue. Windows 2003 R2 x64 server. Patched to latest. Server is ONLY file server. Symantec End Point (Custom Install - AV option only). Ultravnc for remote control @ console level. IBM blade server. Attached to DS4800. Broadcom teamed nics. Static IP address. Server install is pretty much right out of the box with mentioned prgs. Network shares become unavailable sporadically. Only way (so far) to resolve is to reboot the server. Event log look clean. Prior to the "lockup" last entry in system evt log was: Event Type: Information Event Source: Service Control Manager Event Category: None Event ID: 7035 Date: 8/25/2008 Time: 9:35:39 PM User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Computer: {SERVERNAME REMOVED} I disabled WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Service this morning in an effort to solve. During time of issue, the server is 100% operational. Issue occurred around 9:30 PM where it was inaccessible. It is not a DNS issue. Server is pingable via name. Server also pingable via ip address. File shares are not accessible via \\ipaddress or \\servername. Everything at the console level works. Backups even ran and were 100% successful with no files in use (because no on was able to access the server via network shares. :) Any thoughts?
Guest pwiley@asplundh.com Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 Re: Win 2003 File and Print services stops responding This solved if for us. We updated NAV per: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948732 Even when NAV was disabled, we still had the server's fileshare stop responding. After upgrade, we were fine even with everything enabled.
