Hi,
I saw this message many times on WNT (not still in W2k) .

If I remember that the missing of server RPC
(Remote procedure Call) is not a cause but an effect of
other and deeper problems.

SPx ok ?
Strange program recenttly installed ?

Clean (save) error log (sorry, Events) ( client + server ), reboot the machines and, looking at Events, don't
trascure anyhing.

bye.

victorv is correct. RPC is the remote procedure call. Something may be trying to call it up. Also do a check and make sure all patches are installed and no bugs on the box. I've seen this on my server, and a consultant told me it had to do with dns, but I'm not convinced. Good luck. Glen A. Johnson

Consultants ...

In a farm, a car arrives.
A man comes down and go to speak to the farmer.

Man: If I tell you how many sheep are in your farm, you
give me one.

Farmer: OK .

The man linked with satellit handbook and mobile telephone and after 3 minutes told:

Man: You have 1451 sheep.

Farmer: That's right, how have you done?
OK, you can take the sheep.

The man takes it, starts the car, but the farmer call him.

Farmer: Just a minute, if I tell you which is your work,
you give me back the sheep.

OK told the man.

Farmer: you are a consultant .

Man: How have you done ?

Farmer: By 3 little things:

1) You came here, and nobody called you.
2) You have told me a thing that I known.
3) You take the white dog instead the sheep.

-----------
Before know this joke, some times I answered "a consultant" to the question what is your job.
Now I answer: I work in Information Technology.

that's all.
