I think I've run into this issue with Windows XP Pro SP3. Client loses connection to network printers, shared drives...can still ping the server.

I went into his network properties and unchecked a firewall driver and everything seemed to come back.

The hotfixes are for Vista only from what I can tell.

EBS Console freezing or needing to restart SBS 2008 once a week or so? Look here for your answer.

Thanks to Chris Puckett and his team for working on this to get a resolution. We have seen this primarily

Bryan,

This issue is specific to vista and server 2008, you are experiencing some other issue, and the hotfix does not apply.

I've deployed two SBS 2008 servers running Trend Micro WFBS v5.1, and both Active Directory systems are dying at 7-10 day intervals with the noted symptoms. I had both angry customers on the phone yesterday - both went down on the same morning! As mentioned, a restart makes it good for another 7-10 days.

I love the advances made in new products like SBS 2008!

I'm experiencing the issue on Windows Small Business Server 2008 (x64) which would not let me apply the hotfix. I'm assuming that is because it is for sp2 and (x86) as shown on the download page. Is there a x64 version or a real Windows 2008 x64 version yet?

Dear mitchell,

There's 64 bit version of the fix available on the same page. In the "select hotfix section" there's a link just next to the "1" symbol, which says "Show hotfixes for all platforms and languages (3)". Click on that link and you will find 64bit ver.

Regards

Just click on the link that is marked with "(1) Show hotfixes for all platforms and languages (3)"

Then you can see all 3 available version: x86, x64, IA64.

I have experienced the issue twice in 2 weeks on a new SBS2008 box, also running Trend Micro WFBS v5.1. I am installing the hotfix today, and report back in 3 weeks as to whether it resolved the issue. Andy, can you report back to see if the hot fix resolved your issues as well?

I experienced this issue with a customers brand new sbs2008 with Trend Micro Worry-Free Business security. The first time this happened two weeks ago I managed to get it up and running with pure luck (after a full day of troubleshooting).

This time I found this post, installed the hotfix and everything is working fine :)

But how can I be sure that this error does not come back? "a few days to a few weeks" is the worst type of error. I would really like som specific indication that it doesnt come back.

I found this link from the EBS connect site. I have this problem with EBS and WFBS from Trend. Will the 64bit version of the hotfix work on it. If not, what can I do to manually fix it.

Michael Hall - Yes you can install the x64 version on EBS. EBS blog post is in the works.

We are also experiencing this problem on a SBS 2008 server also running Trend Micro WFM 5.1, on both an IBM server and on a Dell server. Please let us know if the hot fix worked.

Seen this on 3 servers, 2 SBS 2008 (HP ML350) and 1 2008 Standard (HP DL360), all running Trend Micro WFBS v5.1. Going to install the hotfix and will report back.

Glad I found this blog. I experienced this issue this morning (SBS 2008/Trend WF 5.1). The server was brought online just over a month ago.

I hated bouncing the box without figuring out what was wrong, but I had no choice.

same problem here, it looks like it's trendmicro causing this.

Installed the fix on two servers, let's see ... .

Same issue, Trend was seemingly the cause. I contacted Microsoft and they provided me with the hotfix. So far so good.

Trend is ugh.

I have this issue with SBS2003--it quits talking to clients unless you are connecting via IP and secure--RDP for instance can connect where you can not ping it but IP. Been round and round with Microsoft. Anyone know a fix for this issue?

We're having the exact same issue installing SBS 2008 for the 1st time for a client.

No wizards behave as they should, as soon as the VPN wizard is ran, normal LAN connectivity dissapears (can't even ping), and access is ONLY by VPN IP.

Spent a whole day banging my head against the wall with this (actually had Trend WFBS 5.1 disabled) before finding this.

Am currently uninstalling and applying the hotfix, let's see...

We are also having this issue with SBS 2003. We have replaced the system board (dell 2900), disabled the onboard broadcom nics, installed intel pro 1000 nics, changes network switches, network cables, loaded all windows updates, disabled trend micro.... still having the issue. It is random, but I seem to be able to force it to happen by kicking off backup exec 12.5 and running a full backup job of a remote (local lan) server. The server will lose contact with the network and not regain it until you reboot. It can ping 127.0.0.1 still however.
