I have a server (running server 2000) that acts as the data share, I also have a back up server (pc with server 2000) that DFS stopped working awhile back and is basically acting as a print server right now.

The problem is; my users are constantly being disconnected from the shared folders on the main server. The only way I can give them access to the folders again is to reboot the back up server. I have to do this about a dozen times a day. It's been happening for a couple of weeks now and I can't figure it out.

Anyone ever have this happen and if so, how did you correct the problem? Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Conrad

Make sure the date and time are synchronised between client and servers are no more than 5 minutes out otherwise share access will be denied. This is requirement when using Kerberos authentication.

To ensure compliance make sure servers and clients sync to a good NTP source.
