IS-IT--Management
Ok, Im at my wits end here.
I have 6 locations (including main site), each location has a local server. main site has primary DC. Each site server is also a DC. all pcs are xp pro with current patches.
If local site server is turned off or offline, several pcs (not all) at that site freeze every few minutes for several seconds.
If I demote server at local site(dcpromo), problem still exists.
There are no mapped drives, no dns, no wins, pointing to local server.
I really do not want to reload the pcs that have this problem, but there is no longer a need for the local server to be there. It was used as a file server and print server. these needs have been eliminated.
Any suggestions on where to look or what to look for?
