Matt,
     I am getting some event errors in the security logs. However, I do not
know what computer or logon they are associated with. It just says system
error. The times also appear to line up with the loss of connections I am
experiencing on the computers. That being said, what steps can be taken to
resolve this?

Regards,
Shawn C. Zirbes
