The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Above is a sample of logs from the "messages" log file.  We have a network with Windows XP systems (SP2) and patched for all critical updates.

The distribution of Linux we run is Red Hat Enterprise ES 4.0.  The samba server has been configured as a domain controller (without LDAP).  Of late we have observed that Windows XP client systems are posing problems while logging on to the domain.  After entering the username and password, some client systems get stuck at the stage of "Loading Personal profile" and do not proceed further.  Of course, we have figured a way out by unplugging the network cord and logging on and then connecting the cord so that the server can be accessed.

Can someone provide a hint or a solution to solve this problem?
