    Currently I am having some rather strange issues with a domain controller in an active directory domain. This issue is only with our main Domain Controller server. All connections/Users are constantly being disconnected from the server and network shares they are attached to. Only connections that stay active are ones that are domain shares that are replicated across all our domain controllers, which only occurs once we remove the main DC from the network do the propagated versions become available.

    We originally thought this to be a drive issue, as one of our SAN disks in a raid array was throwing errors. this drive has been replaced and the Virtual array was rebuilt successfully. Also we have disabled the dual onboard gig NICs and installed an intel pro 1000 MT dual PCI-X.

    Any ideas, Random thoughts, Personal Experiences... All help welcome. Thank you all in advance. :banghead
