Hi everyone We have this big problem which is starting to annoy me! We have a Windows Server 2008 R2, with all updates installed. There is very little software installed on the server apart from some phone system stuff and Kaspersky Anti-virus Every day/2 days the server does something which stops us from connecting to it! Well i say that, but i can remote desktop to it via IP but not by name, if i try by name i get the following error....Remote desktop cannot verify the identity of the remote computer because there is a time or date difference between your computer and the remote computer. Also our backups fail (we backup from another server) due to a communications failure. Also when you try and run a gpupdate /force it fails. The only way round this is to restart the server and everything works fine until it happens again. Apologies if i've missed anything off Can anyone help?? Thanks Simon

Can you verify that the server and client have the correct time and are within 5 minutes of each other? Is the time zone setting correct on both? When the problem occurs, can you ping the name you use to connect to the RDP and make sure DNS resolves the correct server address?Miguel Fra | Falcon IT Services, Miami, FL www.falconitservices.com | www.falconits.com | Blog
