Hi .. Is anyone else having time problems on their networks? Yesterday (Thu) I had approx 50% of my users unable to login because "the time on the client and server are different" and I could not figure out a way to solve it. Some people managed to login but could not get access to shared resources; others could not login at all. I tried syncing the time but that didn't work and several other things I tried didn't seem to work. Having said that, I managed to get them operational after lots of cursing but I can't say what it was that I did that solved it. I thought about the new patches from MS and read all there is about them to see if they affect logins/Kerberos/time service but it doesn't seem to be the case. This morning, I found a MS white paper (http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/docs/_Toc528382509) which explains how an "Access is denied" message can appear if RPC fails to authenticate and I started thinking about those patches again. Can anyone help shed some light on this? I fail to believe that I'm the only one on the planet who got negatively affected by these patches, so either I'm the first to mention it or I'm the only one with a skewed set of network settings!
