I have a veritas backup server. &nbsp;I also have another server that is part of the same domain. &nbsp;Both are running windows 2003 server. &nbsp;These two servers are connected to the same switch pix 4507 but are located in different buildings. &nbsp;The veritas server is connected to the switch via 10 ft fiber. &nbsp;The other server however has 100 ft fiber connected to a patch panel which connects to antoher patch panel which ultimately connects to the switch. &nbsp;When I perform a restore to this server from my veritas backup server I get connection failures.

interrupted network connectivity

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
