AB Tutor problems

[Paul10k]

We're currently trialling AB Tutor v6 on our 2003 terminal servers - it works great until you put a policy on anyone. Once a policy has been put on (and taken off) the server hosting the user loses its domain controller connection and refuses to allow any more connections until rebooted. The sessions already on are fine. Has anyone else had any experience of this? (The policies are not the internet block policies that say they affect the whole server)

Which policies are you trying?

[Paul10k]

Just the 'Block Website' policy with block all sites set.

Does it let allow all sites but block certain ones, if so I wonder if it's blocking ports...

Just had AB reply - they say it could be that a new version just out may fix it - 6.1.1 just installed for testing.

Paul, are you still experiencing the problems since you've applied the most recent update? One of my terminal servers has recently started disallowing users access to the internet but RDP connections and access to fileshares continue to work. We get the erorr in the event logs that no domain controllers can be contacted. I can't ping the terminal server, but the terminal server can ping other devices. The only policy I had applied to the TS was (all) System Logging.

So far 6.1.1 seems to have fixed it. The symptoms we were getting were that existing sessions carried on but any new attempts got a 'domain does not exist'. The server could be pinged and it could happily ping others. It appeared as if some ports/sockets got blocked. Usually a reboot fixed it, if it din't a deinstall and reinstall of the AB client worked.
