Not enough server storage to process this command
Have you ever had this pesky error message appear when you are trying to copy say a 50 GB file from one Windows 2003 server to another. Well this error popup on my screen yesterday…numerous times. I did notice after a few tests that I could copy files smaller than 50 GB with no issue.
After suspecting some memory issue I realized that the server had 4 GB RAM but the page file was only 2 GB. How did that happen? Oh well, I changed it 6 GB rebooted and tried to reproduce the issue. Yes, you guessed it, it failed again with the 50 Gb file.
So it was time to google..and I found a few hits referencing Microsoft Technet article 177078 - Anti virus software may cause Event ID 2011. Incidentally, I do have Symantec 10.2 runn’ing on the box. The version is not the same as mentioned in the article but who cares is Symantec!
As the article intsructed, I navigated to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer
\Parameters and created IRPStackSize (as it did not exist) with a value of 17 as a test.
Lo and behold I had the same problem after a reboot. Well I did not intend to spend the rest of my Friday evening troubleshooting this issue. On Monday, I will disable the Antivirus and attempt the copy again. Will I get lucky?
Anyone have any other excellent ideas?Operating SystemOperating System
