We have a couple of hundred client machines running XP (some SP2, others SP3), on a single domain. Recently we have noticed that some machines are inaccessible. You cannot remote into them, you can't browse them on the network and you can't even ping them. On the client side though, everything appears normal - they can see and access all network resources. We only notice the problem when we need to access the machine, so we don't know "when" this problem is occurring.
We found a workaround - if we remove the client machine from the domain and add it back, everything goes back to normal as far as remote access is concerned. But this takes time and requires IT hands on the machine. Not a preferred situation.
Any clue as to what is going on?
It's not a permissions thing, we have full domain admin access.
We also know that when the client machines were originally setup, anywhere from a month ago to a couple of years ago, remote access was not a problem.
