OK, so I'm having a strange issue. I've created a new domain for some
office computers (SBS 2003) and moved them all into it. There are some
resources that cannot be moved into the domain though. There's a
printer and another Windows 2003 file server that needs to be kept in the workgroup for unrelated business reasons.
When the client computers first login they can access the printer and
the file shares fine. Then, after oh say 45 minutes or so they lose access to them. All the same usernames/passwords exist in both the domain and the file server. The shares and NTFS security are wide open.
I thought it might be a problem contacting the workgroups master browser, and it may be so. When I do a <browstat gm 1 workgroup> I get an access denied message.
What I don't get is the loss of access after some time goes by. And they really need to stay connected to these workgroup resources....
Any ideas?
