Re: Client named on the network same as Server



Unfortunately this is the problem with multiple people using the same
account. There's just no longer any accountability even if you have all the
log files. One user, one account. One user needs to perform administrative
tasks, User=Admin1. I avoid logging in as Administrator unless absolutely
necessary. 7 different concurrent administrative logins? That's just lunacy.

Oh, and always attempt to salvage log files. They represent potential
substantiation. Also, a PSS call probably would have been in order before
you rebuilt or restored without an obvious hardware failure. (hindsight, but
lessons for next time perhaps)

Yes

I also think that they had multiple machines that were using administrator
username and passowrd for different functions.

Some for just file and print sharing

Others were fully logged in . PLus there was one remote session (from us)
logged in at same time doing script file updates.

It is possible that inclding the XP home machine there were a total of 7
administrator logins going that day.

See my other post about XP Home using Administrator passwords as well.

Duplicate names on the network will foul up the works, but not
permanently.

Yes but how

I am certain SBS 2003 is strong enough not to allow a client with the
same
name that is not on the domain to destroy its critical functions.

There must be another reason for this?

Hi Justin,

Check the eventlogs on the server. Is it still a domain controller? If
not,
you are looking for a complete restore from backup because AD has been
badly
hosed.

Hi there

Can someone with experinece maybe detail what things ould happen to
a
server
that had a client with the same name (diiferent IP) added to the
network.
It was not added to the domain--it was still on WORKGROUP called
WORKGROUP.

I have looked in KB for stuff but it all points around the same
thing.

The Client will spit out an error that a "Duplicate Name exists on
the
network". The tehhnician changed the name to a good name. No error
messages
were seen on the server.

The client was then successfully added to the domain under its new
name.

NO one forced the client to be added---new name or old.

2 hours later the server was restarted and then developed on restart
major
Kerberos + AD + DNS failures.

The clients had been experiencing random server share disconnection
problems
and not being able to access shared folders previous to this machine
being
installed.

I hope this helps

Justin
