Some other bits of information: the event log on the client periodically
gets the following warnings
Event ID 40961
"The Security System could not establish a secured connection with the
server DNS/myserver.mydomain.local. No authentication protocol was
available."
and 20 minutes later
"The Security System could not establish a secured connection with the
server cifs/myserver.mydomain.local. No authentication protocol was
available."
The server event log reports (but not at the same time)
Event ID 5513
"The computer MYCLIENT tried to connect to the server \\MYSERVER using the
trust relationship established by the MYDOMAIN domain. However, the computer
lost the correct SID when the domain was reconfigured. Re-establish the
trust relationship."
[I would if I knew how]
I hope someone can pick the bones out of this one.
