Having an issue where a Windows Server 2012 Essential-based network is having issues with its Windows 8 clients being disconnected from the network sporadically. There is nothing in the server logs indicating any hardware failures or network disconnects, Switch and cabling have been replaced. Any thoughts?

Network disconnects for Windows 8 clients on a Windows Server 2012 Essentials network

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.

Windows Server 2012

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.
