Empty Network Drive

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



Hi there,

We have being having some issues with a network drive. The scenario we
have is the one that follows:

1 Server Windows Server SBS 2003: DNS, AD, DHCP, Exchange (No ISA
server)
10 Windows XP SP2 clients.

We have a shared folder on the server (\\server\public\) which is
connected to all the clients via a network drive (P:)
The problem is that, from time to time and without any warn or sing,
when the users access the drive it is displayed as if it was empty. At
the same time a different user might be working with it correctly and
also the rest of the server´s resources are available and work fine.
It can happen one day to one user and never happen again for two or
three days.

No errors on the server´s event log but two on the client´s one that
could be the case: USERENV 1054 and NETLOGON 5719

We have checked DNS and NIC configuration either in the server and the
clients and everything is set up correctly.

It´s not a big deal but the one that has more problems is the manager
´s one, you know what that means...

Any clue? Thank you.
