HQ Client Synchronization Stall

I use a couple of vbs scripts to start and stop the service daily and that seems to have solved a few problems for me. Are you running yours as an executable or as a service? Usually this type of thing is because there is some networking problem - bad connection, or in my case a bug in W2k3Sp1

-solved with a hotfix.

Thanks for taking your time to answer me. I think we're on the right track because the only difference with this one locaton is a PPPoE DSL connection. So far that was the only thing I could think of as being the problem. I'm going to try this , I'll post when I've completed and let you know how it turns out. Thanks again for all you help ozzie.

I should mention this only works if the client is run as a service, and you may need to change "hq client" to whatever the name of the service is. I then just set up a scheduled task to kick it of in the morning to start it, and evening to stop it. Depending on exactly what is going on, you may need to change the frequency and interval.

Anyhow, I h> Thanks for taking your time to answer me. I think we're on the right track
