Re: LanmanRedirector FAILURE + Explorer Hangs

Guys,

The users laptop got so bad he couldn't work on it, explorer kept crashing,
so he brought it in. I did all the safe mode booting, ipconfig and pinging,
everything seemed OK.
Then I tried the repair install, which went through, rebooted, and then
died! Now all I get is the boot menu, with safe mode, safe mode with
networking, LKGF, and boot normally, no matter which option I select, I get
a BSOD, which flashes up too quick to see any of the information, before the
machine reboots, and gets stuck in a loop.

Any ideas?

Ben

Hi Vincent, Hi Trooper,

The consultant who's laptop it having the problems is out of the office
today, and has the laptop with him. But he will be in tomorrow, so I will
try the Safe Mode + pinging DNS & DC that Trooper suggested first, if that
doesn't help, I'll try Vincent's suggestion of the repair installation.

I will post back my finding tomorrow.

Cheers

Ben

Hi Ben,

If the problem still occurs in Safe Mode,I'd like to suggest you perform
a
repair installation to recover the system.

In order to perform a repair installation of Windows XP, you can try the
following steps:

1. Make sure you have set your CD-ROM as the first priority boot device.
You may refer to your computer manual for information on how to do this.
2. Insert the Windows XP CD into your CD-ROM and reboot your computer.
3. When you see Press any key to boot from CD on the screen, press a key
to
let your computer boot from the Windows XP CD.
4. When the computer boots from the CD-ROM, it check your hardware and
then
prompt you the some options.
Please press ENTER to choose "To set up Windows XP now"
Press the F8 key to agree the Licensing Agreement.

5. You will see your current Windows XP installation is listed in a box
and
get the following options:
To repair the selected Windows XP installation, press R.
To continue installing a fresh copy of Windows XP without repairing,
press
ESC.

Please press R to repair the Windows XP

By this way, the wizard will recopy all the system files to the computer
and do not replace the registry files. So you do not ned to reinstall the
applications. You can take a look at the following URL for more
information
of the above steps:

Please tell me the result of this issue at your earliest convenience.

Thanks.

Boot Safe Mode with network support....
1)*Verify your DHCP or Static ip configuration is correct (ipconfig
/all) at the command.
2)*Ping 127.0.0.1 (This verifies your tcp/ip stack is functioning).
3)*Ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (your IP) (This verifies your card is
functioning).
4)*Try pinging your domain controller by ip (This verifies a hardware
connection to the DC).
4A)*If you have any other hardware between you and the DC you will need
to run step number 4 on it aswell.
5)*Try pinging your domain controller by name (This verifies your DNS
is resolving to ip's).

If all above is functioning correctly you may need to 'Recovery
Install' XP.
Without knowing more about your network layout.. it is difficult to say
why your machine cannot connect to the DC for syncronization, unless
your user's profile has been edited, or removed from the DC.

Hi Trooper,

Thanks for the reply.

You are correct, the machine is part of a domain (Win 2003), however
this
error is appearing while connected to the domain, via hardwire 100mb
Ethernet. Network card seems OK, I have installed the latest drivers,
DNS is
configured correctly, I can ping the domain and the DC.

Users do not have local admin access, as they tend to install nasties,
and
they have domain accounts, so they can use folder redirection,
exchange, and
a few other domain based apps.

Cheers

Ben

Your laptop is trying to phone home.
It belongs to a domain.
Take it back to work, where it belongs, and plug it in there.

Failing that, you could always try logging on with the
Administrator's
account on the local machine not on the Domain.
