If you want someone to look at the capture file after you get it running, I can help.
Thanks...I did have that MBS program lock up while I was capturing so I filtered to that workstations IP and wireshark didn't capture any file transfers to our file server...I assume I need to set a different capture filter to look for that?
In fact, it isn't seeing anything to and from our file server except when I ping to it.

Sounds like it to me

Wireshark, running on my PC, doesn't see any of the PC's that won't Ping by the way...and then this...
I think it is time to call it a day...and a weekend...

Back to the grind today on this. I do have a call scheduled with WebRoot to see if they can shed some light on this. I imagine it is one dang setting somewhere but can't seem to find it.
-
Oh and by the way...the user of Estimating02 is out today so we can poke and prod it as our test today if needed.

I had WebRoot uninstalled on Estimating02 all weekend. So since the user was out today, I was able to do a few things...the first thing I did was release/renew IP address...and then reboot...BAM, it pinged...I reinstalled WebRoot...it is pinging still...and Windows Firewall is turned OFF (Webroot Firewall is on)...Webroot did call me and said it is OK for Windows Firewall to be on so may turn it on later (user actually came into work, so can't play with Estimating02 right now).
So, I am making a master list of PC's that won't ping and may try this on a few more to see if it helps...Drafting02 is next...

Theory didn't work...Drafting02 still doesn't ping...

I don't see that anyone has recommended trying the symantec cleanwipe tool. I would give that a shot in case its a shitty uninstall that is causing you issues.

I can't find the CleanWipe tool...it says I need an active account to download...I asked Symantec on Friday but they still haven't responded...

PM me

Users already reporting lockups in that one program which extensively writes to a network share. These problems have only occurred since removing Symantec Endpoint from our servers when we migrated to WebRoot. I did not load WebRoot (as of yet) on servers.
Symantec! Oh that's not good it has been known for destroying workstations when it is removed.
Yes, this. Did you run the special removal tool, or just do a standard uninstall?

WebRoot has said this is not their problem and cannot help me. So awaiting Symantec CleanWipe...my next step is to get the tool.

Yes. Would not expect Webroot to pay to support your Symantec install.

It was worth a shot though...was just hoping they could determine the chicken or the egg moment...Symantec or Endpoint causing it...Symantec is silent thus far...

But @garak0410 said he's having this issue on a brand new install PC as well as those that had Symantec removed from them. While this could be a server side issue, @garak0410 indicated that he couldn't ping or remote access that new PC that never had symantec on it from another PC either.
@garak0410 here's something to try. Get two new OS install machines and see if these problems exist between these two machines while joined to your domain. You might have GPO issues.

Ah missed that. There are vanilla machines with the problem.
