I do not have to powercycle the server, only the workstations. When the server loses its connection, its connection to the AD Domain also fails. The restart fixes this too. As mentioned above, however, machines attached to the server via a mapped network drive can still access the server.

When the network connection goes out, there is no indication that the network has lost connectivity. The network icon indicator says the ethernet is connected at 1Gbps.

The wiring is all brand new and tested. The NICS are all brand new. All the machines exhibit this problem. The lab worked fine from Sept to feb No software has been added or deleted from the machines since Sept , save for Microsoft Patches through update. The workstations exhibit this problem regardless of whether they are logged into the AD Domain or logged in as a local administrator.

There is antivirus software, MCaffee 8. Microsoft firewall is running. I have another PC lab running all the same software on similar spec machines in a different location connected to the same IT infrastructure that does NOT exhibit ANY of these problems.

A computer losing time or having the date and time reset is a symptom of an issue relating to the computer hardware or software. There are multiple causes for date and time loss or resetting issues. The most common causes are detailed below. Review each possible reason for help with how to fix the problem. Before replacing the battery, set the date and time to the correct values in CMOS setup and save and exit the setup.

If the values are lost again, set the values again, but leave your computer on for days without turning it off. In some cases, this helps enable the CMOS battery to retain its settings for longer. Older computers may not have a BIOS that is compatible with any year dates.

If your computer was manufactured before , we recommend you contact the manufacturer to determine if the motherboard's BIOS is Y2K compatible. If this does resolve your issue, consult with the motherboard manufacturer or computer manufacturer for a possible BIOS update.
