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!

NT4.0 Server Kicks out users from network!

Asked by Allan_Shiels in Windows NT Operating System, Tivoli Storage Manager

Tags: bdc

Hi there,

We seem to be experiencing a real nasty problem with one of our customers NT4 servers.

Site info:
The site has 2 NT4 servers, one a PDC and the other a BDC.  The email system is kept on the PDC and the
data is all kept on the BDC.  The workstations are a mix of windows 98, XP and 2k.

The network is CAT5 Throughout 10/100  standard except for a gigabit link between the two servers which
are situated in different buildings from each other.

Problem info:
What happens is, at random intervals, the BDC decides to just throw everyone off the network.  Anyone in any network docs or apps which are situated on the BDC  are thrown out.  Any mapped network drivers to the BDC become unavailable.

Double clicking on the BDC in network neighborhood from a workstation during this time gives the message "the server is not accepting this type of request at this time, please try later"

However, the plot thickens.  The BDC is still pingable!  and also we can still VNC into the server desktop, so the IP layer of the network on it still works ok.  It just seems to kick the users out, its like the browser service just decides to stop working or something!

The only way we are resolving this issue is by rebooting the BDC.  However, on reboot the server always hangs at the windows NT4 server splash screen.  It then needs to be rebooted again before it all works again.

NT Event logs show no anomalies whatsoever!

Additional info:
Mostly happens through the night, sometimes in the afternoon though.
Set up replication service between BDC and PDC to run one night, BDC crashed out that night and needed rebooting in the morning (could be co-incidence, could be linked)


Server spec:
Windows NT4.0 Server with SP6a
Intel pentium DUAL XEON 2.8
512MB DDR
3x 36GB SCSI Raid 5 array HOT SWAP
Intel on board Gigabit Lan card
HP 20/40 Tape drive using veritas 8.6 running nightly backup

This is an urgent problem, hence the 500 pints.  I mean points :)
