File print sharing / Firewall Issues on 2008 server
Hi Experts,
I want to think this is a firewall issue with an 08 server. Its roles on the network are DC/DNS/FPS.
Approxamatly once a day, users are no longer able to connect to thei fileshares on the server. All other services remaining function DC replication/ DNS etc etc. I can ping, and 3389 over to it.
Start/stopping the firewall does nothing... if I reboot the server the problem goes away. There are no errors any of the logs.
Any help appreciated.

I had the same exact problem with my 2008 Servers, and the issue was Kaspersky Enterprise Edition. Even when I had it disabled, the server was extremely slow, and I could not browse to it. I eventually had to uninstall the Kasperksy Anti-Virus and install a different one.
When you log onto your server is it so slow that it seems like it is frozen? You may have a DNS issue too. Try browsing by the IP address.

Im completely onboard with the symantec Endpoint theory. I'll spare you all my personal thoughts regarding that product.
Its certainly worth a shot. I'll wait until this puppy drops the shares again before I test the theory. Be back shortly Im sure.

No problem. You may find that when it drops the shares again, you'll then have to take SEP off and reboot, and then wait again to see if it drops.
Let me know how you get on
