hi andy,

à symptoms local pcs can not logon network or access mapped drives or network locations on server.

when issue occurred, did ping windows server 2012 essentials via ip address , server name client computer? please let me know result?

meanwhile, did remember specific operation had been done on server before issue occurred? examples, install windows updates or install third-party application or other?

in addition, please run windows server 2012 essentials best practices analyzer , check if find relevant issues.

by way, did check whether has device uses avstream class (such bluetooth, usb, or pci device) connected computer? more details, please refer following kb.

computer freezes when connect usb device in windows 8.1 or windows server 2012r2

if update, please feel free let me know.
