Windows 7 AD problem

Frustrating issue here:

I have a windows server 2003 AD infrastructure.

I Windows 7 as my company computers.

I have 1 user (user A) that, when logged into the network, loses control of
his screen when user B starts typing.

I have made sure that IPs are not conflicting. I have created different
accounts for both of them but still keep having the same bad luck. It is
causing user A to not be able to work because whenever user B is typing an
e-mail it literally takes control of user A's screen and starts typing into
whatever program he has open.

I have never seen nor heard this before and have no clue why it's only these
2 users.

Any ideas?

Hello mem2382,

Sorry i can not really follow you whar does "loses control of his screen
when user B starts typing"? Do they work on one computer or on a Terminal
server? Please be more specific.

Best regards

They work on 2 seperate latpops that are on the same network.

Not using Terminal server for either of these two users.

It's really random when this does happen. I have checked the logs and
nothing jumps out at me.

Hello mem2382,

With different machines and different user accounts there can be no relationship
with the problem. Both work on a local computer and the user account isn't
able to do anything to the other machine.

Are the computers both fresh installed or created from an image that isn't
sysprepped?

A guess:

They're using wireless keyboards and they're both using the same channel.

Meinolf,

Left out one important piece of info...These aren't local computer accounts.
They are using roaming profiles.

I still don't see how this would cause this issue but who knows.

They are both using wireless keyboards.

They are 100 ft apart which seems like a fair amount of distance and
everyone else in the office is using wireless keyboards.

How would I switch the channel?

Re-associate the devices - usually there's a button on the receiver and
a button on the keyboard/mouse marked 'Connect'

Press the button on the receiver to get it ready to associate with a
device, then press the connect button on the keyboard. Repeat for the
mouse if necessary. Do the same on the other workstation.

100ft does seem like a lot, but it's the most likely explanation if
they're using wireless keyboards.

Nice . If you have a lot of wireless devices in the office you might end
up using the old wired keyboard and mouse.
