Sounds like you've been busy?! Here is a tidbit, did you
run pathping from an offending machine? "Pathping" will
give you an indication of whether you're experiencing
some network degradation somewhere down the line. You may
find some issue in the building or maybe over the
Internet. The error you're getting is a lack of
connectivity to the server.

Have confidence in terminal services, it works. This
stuff is great, you just need to get the path working.

There are so many items to look for, but before we move
on, make sure you have a reliable connection from those
machines to the servers in question.

Doing away
