Hello RR2,

Never saw automatic changes of scope options. You have to change them by
hand.

I need a clarification on this: DHCP>> Scope > Scope Options

For "006 DNS Servers", this field auto populated with 192.168.1.126 which is a client and who's IP is issued from the router. My DNS server IP is actually 192.168.1.2. Should I manually change the 006 field to 192.168.1.2 ? Thanks, R. "RR2" <ronra-spamfilter-@rplighting.com> wrote in message news:%23PdARzr5IHA.1196@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... Hi Meinolf, The clients are all on Win2K Pro, XP Pro, and mine is on Vista. After sending the previous message, I had a file lockup again, so I probably spoke prematurely and jinxed myself. Evidently, that wasn't the cure. I'm having the same issues with DHCP that we were working with also. I have a couple of clients migrated to the server and seem to be working OK, but the event viewer on the server is showing Event ID 1070.

Hello RR2, Nice to hear, but keep in mind disabling SMB signing is also lowering the security level of the complete domain. What OS are your clients running? Think we never talked about.

Hello Meinolf,

I want to catch you up on this issue before the thread gets old and
forgotten.

I ended up calling in a consultant today.
On the DHCP issue, he said everything was set correctly, but couldn't figure
out why it wasn't working like it was supposed to. In one last act of
desperation, he deleted the scope and reentered it. Bang, everything popped
up as it was supposed to. Must have been a corrupt file somewhere along the
line. He disabled the auto-protect feature in hopes that would take care of
the problem. After he left, I did some online research and found there is
indeed a problem with Excel files, Server 2008, and Symantec AV. I've since
listed all the suspect file extensions as exemptions. With luck, that will
take care of it.

Thanks again, for all your help along the way.

R.



While he was here, we also experienced the file lockup issue. That stumped
him also. His first thought was Symantec AV was causing the problem as it's
a little older than the server.
