    When I went to bed last night, WHS was normal.  This morning, every device fails to see the WHS shares and my two computers report my passwords do not match; updated to use computer passwords.   Appears to accept those passwords but when I relog that computer, get the same message.  I CAN use RDP from any computer.

    I checked the WHS clock and the time is correct ; same with BIOS clock.  Two of my devices are a very recent TV and an ancient Audiotron; which both fail to see the shares also.  The WHS sees my NAS which I use to back up the files not duplicated.  I rebooted all systems (WHS, Win 7 and XP).    I can also map to the shares; but this does not help with media devices.

    Any ideas? 

    Regards,

    Dewey

    OK, after 5 hours it seems to have gone back to normal.  I have no idea what happened but now all devices have access.

     

    I have worked with computers since CPM and PDP 8s.  I HATE these mysteries; if anyone has an explanation I would like to know.

     

    Thanks and regards,

    Do you see anything in your server event logs?
    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)

    Nothing terrible in the last day or so.  Just some errors about fax services.  now one thing I DID do (just remembered) is I was getting messages about c drive being full.  So I ran the disk cleaner and compressed 'old files" as well.  Funny, that only freed a couple gigs but when I look now I have 13 gigs free.  The only thin extra I have installed is Paragon; no add ins or such.

    On my xp box I at least now am getting asked for credentials; but it will take any of them.  I am beginning to think it is related to user authentication; but it will not even allow guests.  Don't forget, I am reminded on all computers to sync the passwords and even when I change the PW in WHS console, nothing changes.

     

    Also, I just tried to change the PW again form the XP.  This time I get a "user locked out" notice.

     

    Thanks and regards,
