OD Not responding after Windows update (win 8.1)

Post by jaynahar » Mon Jan 19, 2015 10:23 am

Folks,

Need your help to troubleshoot what to look for and how to identity what has caused this working application before windows update.

Thanks,

What screen do you get to before it becomes unresponsive?
The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.

Even opening OD was causing that and took around 5 mins to authentication dialog. It was very painful to work with it.

Further Updates:
During troubleshooting, changed the "Docpath" in DB to local machine instead of network path...it came back to normal. But it has disrupted our normal routine of 2 yrs.

If you happen to have any good pointers, please do share, why network path is causing this issue.

The issue you had has to do with ipv6. disable it. try to open command promt or powershell and ping local host see if it return 127.0.0.1 or 00::00....

Go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections

Alt+N and click Advanced Settings. Under Bindings, move IPv4 to above IPv6

Thanks for the reply. Disabled IP6, still the same issues. Any good idea on how to troubleshoot/narrow down the issue.

My hunch is that it is network related which are the hardest problems to solve. I solve them by simplifying my network and adding devices / settings until the issue starts to occur again thus revealing the culprit. If it isn't network related, it might be a 3rd party software taking up your server resources making it unresponsive to workstations. See the Interference from Other Programs section of this page for examples of what I'm talking about.
