I am having a problem at work that is getting really annoying.
I just Tuesday got a new computer system, and have never had these problems before.
Here's some background on how our network is setup. I have only user level access. We are on an almost entirely Windows network (there are a few *nix file servers, but very very few). Network uses Windows Active Directory. All of our printers are from a printer server, all of the files that I have to work on are on another server, and some of the apps that we use are network based.
I left work Monday, and came back late Tuesday morning to a new machine. One of our IT guys had migrated my user profile from my old machine to the new one.
Since then, I have been randomly locked out of servers on the network. For instance, I was able to log in this morning, and for two hours was able to use everything on the network. Then, for an hour, I was locked out of all the network servers. No printing, network apps, or files. I rebooted the machine, and couldn't log onto my computer because my account was locked out (Windows message to me).
Went downstairs to IM, who checked my account in Active Directory, and I was not locked out. He remoted into my computer, and I could mysteriously log on again. Worked fine until about 1:00 this afternoon, when the same thing happened. I was locked out of everything. Rebooted, and same thing, account locked. Waited a few minutes, tried again, and could log on, and get to everything.
Now, just a few minutes ago, I couldn't print anything. I had access to everything else, just not the print server.
My question is, what could the problem be? Access rights to the servers come from the Active Directory (I thought), so I shouldn't be having problems with that.
Would having IM delete my user id from the active directory and start a new one fix this problem? Or, is there a simpler solution that I'm not seeing.
