Are they Windows Embedded devices? Or CE or TOS? Or something else?

Subject: [NTSysADM] Thin Clients pointing to wrong server

Just looking for some thoughts on this one.   Had a situation the other day 
where I was called to go onsite because, starting a few days ago, only 2 users 
could logon to the (30) HP T510 thin client devices instead of the 30 users 
that normally could (it's a computer lab).  After a couple minutes of 
investigation, I verified that the users were not logging into the terminal 
server itself, but actually logging into the domain controller (which didn't 
have the terminal services role installed, so they were obviously limited to 
two active RDP sessions/logins).

Now, on the thin clients themselves, there's a configuration setting telling it 
the IP address that it's supposed to connect to.  Oddly enough, all 30 thin 
clients had their configuration set to point to the IP address of the domain 
controller (x.x.x.2) instead of the terminal server (x.x.x.3).  The lab 
instructor says he didn't change all 30 thin clients, and we doubt the students 
would have done it, so does anyone have an idea how all 30 thin clients might 
have ended up pointing to the domain controller (x.x.x.2) instead of the 
terminal server (x.x.x.3)??

Changing all the thin client devices to point BACK to the terminal server 
itself (x.x.x.3)allowed all 30 users to login again, but I wish I knew how the 
address on the T510 thin client had gotten changed.   Any thoughts on this one?

Thanks
J
