Re: Help, MS tech support is useless

It is a DNS server as well. The network service is not starting. Basically
the machine cannot communicate with anything. Can't even run rsop to check
policy settings, get access denied. I can ping it for about two minutes
after rebooting, but as soon as windows gets about half loaded, no dice
anymore. So I was thinking driver issues, but I have the latest drivers from
HP so I don't know what else it could possibly be. I've got another server
at the other location that installed the sp just fine, but it isn't a DC.
Basically any DC that I install the sp on, craps out once it is rebooted. Am
using HP proliant servers, the one I'm working on is brand new, just got it
last week.
