Home directory issue due to power-out



Hi,

After an area wide powerout both the server and clients had serious difficulties! (Yes I know the xServe should have been on a UPS, and I thought it was- don't ask!?!)

Thanks to the help of an excellent Apple techie we manged to get the server back into the land of the living, having found that it had created a second data volume  and was trying to get users to find their docs there. This was deleted and then we had to reset each user to a newly named folder.

What did suprise me was that we still had random issues with accounts and clients, so serious that both our labs were unusable. We then discovered that all the clients had their network settiings changed and altho netinfo was still correctly configured, AppleTalk and all the other posssibilities had been enabled. When we disabled AppleTalk this seemed to solve the issue.

The only question I have is why would a powerout cause the client network settings to change to I presume a default set?

Thxs,
