UGH, get DNS to work and try to get a sync. My company just spent 30 hours recovering a clients single domain AD failure. This was not pretty. If you can't get DNS to work there is a MS article on how to manually remove AD, but it did not work in our case. If you can not dcpromo you will have...

Go out and download atomic clock from: http://www.worldtimeserver.com/atomic-clock/ Install on the domain controller. This will automatically get time udats form the atomic clock engine via the internet. To sync your client insert this line in to your logon.bat files: net time \\ (server name...

You can also write a batch file to run the shutdown.exe and then set an even in task scheduler as well.

Start with the basics: - Did the netlogon service start, did the NIC bind to the protocols, etc. - Check the Event log for any ! marks - Check the services for MS Exchange items, did they all start - How is your free drive space? Are tmp files filling up what you have left? Are your backups...

Yes check your NIC for bad packets. only one NIC right? Your NIC is static, correct? (shoudl have been forced to install DHCP, but not if you have more than one NIC. If multiple NICS then multiple static IP's are necessary. Better yet, in the time it takes to capture packets you can replace...

Are you behind a NAT device or Firewall? Did you open or forward the correct TCP/IP ports to your server if you are behind a NAT/Firewall?

tshoot BSOD 101: Determine when the problem happens: IE:When I am online and then I launch IE 6. IF you fresh loaded the OS did you save your files when you installed SP3? If so then roll back to SP0 (Or what ever) then apply SP2. The goal is to eliminate the SP as the problem. If you suspect...

Download the w2k drivers for said tape device and manually install the hardware using the driver sets you pulled.

Download a copy of SiSoft's Sandra and run the hardware check. (32bit app, pretty good for a freebie) My gut says hardware drive or drive controller. Did you try all the obvious routes? Service Pack, IE Service Pack, etc? Is this a domain? Are there group policies in effect? Is the machine...
