All windows 7 and Server 2008 machines falsely report internet access

Hello,

Here is something odd. All Server 2008 and windows 7 machines have an exclamation mark on the network icon and report no internet access, but the internet works fine. Any ideas?

Thanks!

do you have multiple network adapters, maybe the one connecting isn't displaying an icon (this happens by default) and problem ones are displaying!

Lee, as I mentioned within my original reply, this is a "false positive" that will occur based upon certain domain configurations.  While the vast majority of end-users will never notice it, some of them still bring it to our attention and we found that configuring the group policy that I described (http:#37101084) effectively eliminated those concerns.
