XP synchronization


Recommended Posts

I have an XP pro laptop fully patched connected to a windows 2000 server sp3. When the user first put the laptop in the docking station, the synchonization starts and completes itself, but then the connection to the server is lost and none of the application on the server work. Can anyone tell me why it does that and how to fix it

Thank you

i had a simillar problem when i upgraded my xp clients to sp1, after 6 weeks of emails to and from microsoft the fix that worked for me was as below

If the problem still occurs in Safe Mode with Network, use Group Policy settings to turn off SMB signing. To do so, set the Default Domain Controller policy settings to Disabled:

1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click "Active Directory Users and Computers".

2. Right-click the Domain Controllers organizational unit, and then click Properties.

3. Click the Group Policies tab.

4. Click "Default Domain Controllers Policy", and then click Edit.

5. Locate Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options

6. If any of the following policy settings are set to Enabled, double click the setting, click to select the "Define this policy setting" check box, click Disabled, and then click OK.

NOTE: By default, only one setting is set to Enabled.

- "Digitally sign client communication (always)"

- "Digitally sign client communication (when possible)"

- "Digitally sign server communication(always)"

- "Digitally sign server communication (when possible)"

7. Close Group Policy editor, click OK, and then quit Active Directory Users and Computers.

hope this helps
