Re: Application Hang

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello Meinolf,

I want to catch you up on this issue before the thread gets old and forgotten.

I ended up calling in a consultant today.
On the DHCP issue, he said everything was set correctly, but couldn't figure out why it wasn't working like it was supposed to. In one last act of desperation, he deleted the scope and reentered it. Bang, everything popped up as it was supposed to. Must have been a corrupt file somewhere along the line. He disabled the auto-protect feature in hopes that would take care of the problem. After he left, I did some online research and found there is indeed a problem with Excel files, Server 2008, and Symantec AV. I've since listed all the suspect file extensions as exemptions. With luck, that will take care of it.

Thanks again, for all your help along the way.

R.



While he was here, we also experienced the file lockup issue. That stumped him also. His first thought was Symantec AV was causing the problem as it's a little older than the server.

Hello RR2,

Never saw automatic changes of scope options. You have to change them by hand.

I need a clarification on this:

DHCP>> Scope > Scope Options
DHCP>>
For "006 DNS Servers", this field auto populated with 192.168.1.126
which is
a client and who's IP is issued from the router.
My DNS server IP is actually 192.168.1.2. Should I manually change
the 006
field to 192.168.1.2 ?
Thanks,

R.

Hi Meinolf,

The clients are all on Win2K Pro, XP Pro, and mine is on Vista.

After sending the previous message, I had a file lockup again, so I
probably spoke prematurely and jinxed myself. Evidently, that wasn't
the cure.

I'm having the same issues with DHCP that we were working with also.
I have a couple of clients migrated to the server and seem to be
working OK, but the event viewer on the server is showing Event ID
1070. Whenever I installed NPS to clear the issue, the clients
couldn't connect to the internet. Now, we're in the middle of the
workweek and I am unable to do tests.

Hello RR2,

Nice to hear, but keep in mind disabling SMB signing is also
lowering the security level of the complete domain. What OS are your
clients running? Think we never talked about.

Hello Meinolf,

I think the problem is solved. I disabled SMB signing in group
policies and haven't had a problem with system lockup since then.

I'm also slowly moving clients over to the DHCP server on the
server. I'm being vary cautious about this move so I don't have to
back track too far if anything goes wrong.

Frustration is growing long and the day is growing short. I'm
once
again
removing NPS which seems to be nothing but an added confusion
factor.
I'll disable DHCP on the server so as a minimum, the company will
be
back
where it was at the start of business tomorrow.

OK, I reinstalled NPS and disconnected the router for a period of
time. No change, the client can still not refresh

I've just uninstalled NPS. Is this something I really need. If
so, I'll reinstall.

Hello RR2,

See here about NPS:

What happens if disconnect just for a short time the router
from
the switch, where also server and client is connected. Will the
client get an ip address?
Best regards

This is getting worse all the time. Per the other error, I've
installed NPS for whatever good that does me. The exclamation
mark went away indicating a problem, but now when I do
ipconfig /renew, the workstation can't find the DHCP server.

I think we were far far better off with NT-4. It's just not
compatible with the hardware.

Hello RR2,

So you run 2 different scopes on the server and have the DHCP
on the router also running?

We've recently installed Windows Server 2008 and are now
experiencing some problems with application hangups.

The server is a domain server with a few shared files and
folders. No applications are installed on the server.

Periodically, someone updating one of the shared files from
a client PC will cause a lockup. The event viewer on the
client PC shows Application Hang. There are no events
showing on the server for the time of the "incident". All
shares on the server lock at that time and the only way out
is to reboot the server.

Additional information that may or may not be related. Our
router is acting as DHCP server for the entire LAN. The
DHCP server on the domain server is disabled through
services and unauthorized.

Any suggestions as to what could be causing the lockups?
