On March 21st, our clinic SBS 2011 server died. Parts for a rebuild are on the way but it won't be online until next week. It was our one and only server, and handled all networking functionality (DNS, Security, File Hosting, Printer/Device Hosting, Internet Access, Active Directory, etc) and hosted our Xerox machine. As a temporary workaround we connected the Xerox via USB cable to the nearest desktop PC. We were able to successfully get network printing service up and running again with this fix, but scanning is another story. Without a local DNS server on the network, the scanning output system no longer seems able to find the computers on our network, repeatedly spitting out error 016-782. We've tried various permutations of using the network computer name or the IP address. But nothing seems to work. Is scanning functionality simply unavailable on a local network lacking a server to run the DNS service? The Xerox cannot seem to push a file out to the network, but could a workstation possibly pull a scan from the machine?
