Something happened in the DNS where the clients could no longer locate the DFS shares, thus disconnecting their network drives. I forced an update of the DNS, and after it replicated (takes awhile), they started working again. I'm afraid of clearing the cache, as whenever I do that manually it pretty much wipes out all client activity domain-wide until the DHCP server puts the entries back into the DNS tables. This is entirely too fragile, so I'm going to have to do something soon. ________________________________ From: Paul van Geldrop [mailto:paul.van.geldrop@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 05:48 To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Interesting problem... http://www.ISAserver.org Are you running DNS as an AD application partition ? Consider having a batchscript to clear the cache on DNS servers, which you'd fire off after making an entry.. unless you've got flaky replication, DNS updates shouldn't cause a few dozen computers to fail.. ________________________________ From: Steve Moffat [mailto:steve@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: maandag 28 februari 2005 22:50 To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Interesting problem... http://www.ISAserver.org Correct me if I'm wrong,...:)), but your AD zones are the only thing that is kept in dns, each DNS server maintains it's own cache.

Anyways, I'm thinking about removing and re-installing the DNS servers, as they are acting very flaky. Not a good thing with ISA, as everything seems to ride on it. Heck, I changed one entry this afternoon, and it knocked out a few dozen computers until the zone updates went through! ________________________________ From: Steve Moffat [mailto:steve@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, February 28, 2005 14:36 To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Interesting problem... http://www.ISAserver.org The dns cache is local to the dns server...not AD integrated S ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: isalist@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: paul.van.geldrop@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.
