Thin client setup breaks domain

[sibusisom]

:twisted::twisted: I don't know what his guy does to my domain but everytime he sets up thin clients my domain goes and i end up having to do damage control. For some reason or another after setting up clients noone can logon to the domain, all machines loose their network connectivity and i mean all of them including the DC itself.

I really dont know now i'm so *(&&%^%#%^ :twisted: i think the judge is gonna give me life in prison.

I'm thinking of doing the following:

Delete terminal services
Remove DHCP and test with static IP addresses.
Restore my DC system state and see what happens.

Sounds like a forced ip address conflict with the Domain Controller.
Perhaps the urine content of the coffee you give him is too high.

 

[Park@82]

Doesn't sound right. Which thin clients are these?

 

[sibusisom]

You are correct about the IP conflict because he mentioned something like that when he called me.So will uninstalling DHCP help in any way?

 

[sibusisom]

They are HP clients.

 

[Park@82]

Don't know how they could break your network, perhaps use only static IPs on them /also have a look to see if there aren't any newer firmware available for them.

Ja! neh! you know what they say " it pours" and it really poured yesterday and i was so mad i used all possible choice words and even created my own in the process

Well i was forced to rebuild the DC from scratch because nothing worked, i reinstalled and did a system state restore, never worked. Deleted DHCP and recreated, did not work and finally decided to rebuild the server and create a new domain with the same name but the painful part was rejoining all computers to the domain and creating user accounts and setting up the profiles luckily noone saves their documents on their wks all documents are on the X: drives including their outlook pst files but boy oh! boy what a stressful day it was.

I'm glad the users are up and running again.
