ERROR: Check Physical Container Global Table

[Zugdud]

I keep getting the error:

Check Physical Container Global Table to computername from servername

It is popping up like every 30 seconds on the server and also on EVERY computer connected to that domain using windows xp or 2000. does anyone know what this error means or where I can find information on it? More importantly if anyone knows a way to disable the message broadcasting it would be much appricated!

Hello,
Go into services and disable or put it to manual message service and alerter service on the server. The best way I have found is when you are rolling out users pc's disable these on all of there computers. The service's message and aleter come in handy when it is running on the server, so you can see the message.

Check that the server door isnt open or the chassis is not screwed together properly.

The message means "a container breach" ie the door is open.

thanks for the replies, I performed the suggested by stopping these services:

alerter
messanger

However it still seems to be giving everyone the error. Is there a way to define settings for alerter or turning off the message broadcasting? I checked the computer and it was properly closed

If it is possible and you do not have to many users you can disable it on the users machines.
