SMB Shares stop responding in Server 2008

[Guest Larry]

I have a new Server 2008 server that is provided user file services. After

a few hours the user shares slowly stop working user by user until no users

can access the shares. There are no errors in the Event Log. The only

fix is to restart the server. But, the problem returns after a few hours.

Does anyone know what the problem is?

 

This is a brand new Dell 2950 III Server. Server 2008 was installed at Dell.

Re: SMB Shares stop responding in Server 2008

 

Hello Larry,

 

Do your NIC's have a power option enabled to turn off the device to save

power? How did you configure the clients, with a static mapping? Is this

done with \\servername\share or \\ipaddress\share?

 

Best regards

The NIC do not have a power saving option.

 

Yes, the clients are using static mappings with \\servername\share name.

I am still having the problem. At this point, the only kinda solution I

have found is to reboot the server every morning. Most of the time I can

make it through the day, but some days I have to reboot the server in the

middle of the day.

 

I sure hope some one has a solution.

Hi Larry, I have good news for you. Let me guess, you have some sort of

symantec antivirus tool running on the server right? Disabel doesnt work, you

have to uninstall it, then wait and see. I found others that had the exact

same problem and they all had symantec in common, and it fixed the problem

for everyone.

Re: SMB Shares stop responding in Server 2008

 

You are correct. We are running Symantec EndPoint protection version

11.0.2. I talked to Symantec yesterday, they say this is a know bug in

EndPoint Protection and the fix will be released in Maintenance release 3 due

out in September 2008. In the mean time they have proved me with a work

around. I should know if this is the fix in the next day or two.

 

Thanks for the help. Larry

Curious, can you provide the workaround for us?
