The Mystery Part IV

Hi,

Some of you may recall, that our 2003 SBS server a while ago exhibited a
strange behavior where none of the client computer could log into the domain
any longer without very long waiting times. From entering the domain
username and password it could have taken up to 3 hours to log in.
we tried this and that and things got so bad that we rebuild the server
several times and finally destroyed the whole installation including all
client computers and rebuilt them all.
Everything worked great for several weeks until just yesterday we updated
the server with the KB908521 and KB925876 patches. After the restart the
client computer logons takes very long and all the server shares are
unavailable but on (\\servername\users). The only way we can access the
servers resources is to log the client computers into a workgroup and than
browse the network and all shares from the server are visible and can be
accessed after entering the domain credentials.
To me, it still feel like the secure channel in-between the server and
the client computers fails or has some sort of a problem? One of the client
computer does logs events 40960 / 40961 what implies that a hotfix would
have to be installed (KB891559) but the Kerberos.dll file on that machine
has a 06/15/2005 date code.
The Ports 88; 3268 and 3269 are open on the server.
We are stuck again. It would be great if someone could shed some light on
this.
All replies are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Stefan
