Server 2008 R2

[nathan]

This server is set to be decommissioned in a week but we need to keep it going till then.

 

After the Christmas break, i've come into school and have the following issues. (please bare with me, my brain isn't up to speed yet)

 

- Machines have a mapped drive issue in that they won't connect, on those machines i can't browse any of the server shares via DNS or IP

- I've tried to join a workstation onto the domain, i get the following error; "the network path was not found"

- I can RDP on to the server using it's DNS name.

- I can ping it's DNS name and it resolves fine.

- Printing from the workstations isn't working

- On the workstation i try to join onto the domain i'm getting "The certificate received from the remote server was issued by an untrusted certificate authority. Because of this, none of the data contained in the certificate can be validated. The TLS connection request has failed. The attached data contains the server certificate."

- i also get schannel errors on the server

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

 

I presume client devices and the server communication over secure channels, i can't help but think they use a certificate and this could be out of date? Can they even expire?

Have you rebooted it, is the date correct?

it was a yes to both.

 

On the 5th time rebooting it, it's alive. I'll be glad when this piece of junk is decommissioned.
