Lost Delayed-Write Data - weird..

[snootalope]

Hello

We're using Windows 2000 server sp4 as a terminal server on 3 machines with Notes client R6 (and R6.5 on a test server). My users DO NOT use the email feature at all. the only thing they use it for is to view databases that are kept on an as/400 server here. Sporadically, this message will show up in the event viewer and it seems to be linked to a message that is shown to the user that says "The Disk or Network drive is no longer available." and this is the Warning in the system log:

Event Source: MRxSmb
Event Category: None
Event ID: 50
Date: 6/17/2004
Time: 2:27:03 PM
User: N/A
Computer: MBCMF2
Description:
{Lost Delayed-Write Data} The system was attempting to transfer file data from buffers to \Device\LanmanRedirector. The write operation failed, and only some of the data may have been written to the file.

This is happeing on all 4 (including my test server with R6.5) terminal servers. Although, we can run it from our pc's (the admins) and we never see it. I checked out IBM's support, but it show my exact situation..

Anyone ever seen this?!?

Check Eventid.net there is some info on that event that may help.

I have the same problem on one of my terminal servers.All three are running Lotus Notes 6.5 but only one of them is giving this specific problem. I have received a hotfix from Microsoft that updated MrxSmb.sys to version 6920 but it is still giving same problem.

Other two servers are still fine with version 5434 of MRXSmb.sys.

Same here...i'm still getting the error occaionally. Seems to come and go, but Microsoft pretty much said, "sorry, can't help ya" I've even rebuilt a couple of my machines, yet that error still shows up from time to time..

Hi There

Did a ping to problem server and found that it was losing some pings ( About 7 %) changed the ethernet card and problem is sorted out. No problem with Lotus Notes since.

Tserver - did you change out the ethernet card on the server? Is you fix still working?

 

[TserverAdmin]

Hi sbrandon

I replaced the gigabit ethernet card with a new one and the error hasn't returned thus far.

 

[sbrandon]

Tserver - thanks. That may be my next option. Weird that we were running great for almost a year and then last month we started getting the error messages.

This error finally dissapeard appeard for good.. It was solved by adding an additional domain controller to my domain, simply to help out. Apparently, there was to much stress on our FSMO and it couldn't keep up with network requests and file transfers. Not that the network was slow, just to many requests and not enough resources to make them happy.

The morning I made our additional DC active, not only did this problem disappear, a few other tricky one's took care of them selves. So, i to a happy domain once again...
