I have a Server 2008 domain that was migrated from SBS 2003. We are using shared folders and offline files. The wired desktops have no issues, but the wireless laptops are intermittently dropping the synchronization and not able to connect to the network.......and not all at the same time.

For example, a user comes and logs in at 7:00, they can't synchronize until 8:30. After that they have no issues for the rest of the day. Or a user is dropped from the network at 1:30 for 15 minutes and then regains access.

I thought this was a connection timing issue on the server, so I removed that policy, same issues. It's not a signal issue, because the wireless router is less than 20 feet away.

Any ideas?


Thanks!!!
 
The logs on both sides show what exactly? And the WAP...it indicates what?

There are no more PDC's! There are DC's with FSMO roles!
 

I think this may be a profile issue. I had the users reboot and I logged in as the administrator and was synched immediately. I had them log in again and they were informed that their passwords had expired. Afterwards, they were synched. Monitoring now to see if they drop offline today.

Any ideas?


Thanks again
 
<sigh>

Did you check the logs? Because you came here for help but appear to be ignoring the advice you've been given. That's the fastest way to get ignored around here.

My apologies, not ignoring the post, but stating observations.

The logs don't have anything "out of the ordinary" such as login errors or authentication issues.

Thanks for the post.
