Browser issue

jdarcas · 10-31-2009, 03:06 PM

I am having a problem with a File Server running Server 2003 R2 SP2. About every five days I keep getting browser errors (event ids 8021 and 8032). The error states it is unable to retrieve a list of servers from the browser master which is my domain controller.

When this error occurs, I cannot log into the domain and it sometimes has issues loading local profiles. Also I cannot ping or run ipconfig, the OS returns an error that the application failed to initialize. I try to restart the netlogon server and it doesn't start up (internal windows error).

Both of my DCs are running DNS and WINS. I am not running multiple network cards (one is disabled). I do have a usb device that is hooked up via ethernet to a VM.

If I reboot this server, all is well for about five days, then I get these browser errors again.

I have tried MS recommendations here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/135404

but no luck.

Any thoughts/ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you
