Guest Larry Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 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.
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 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?

Guest Larry Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Re: SMB Shares stop responding in Server 2008 The NIC do not have a power saving option. Yes, the clients are using static mappings with \\servername\share name.

Guest Larry Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Re: SMB Shares stop responding in Server 2008 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.

Guest Zulan Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Re: SMB Shares stop responding in Server 2008 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. "Larry" wrote: > I am still having the problem.

Guest Larry Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 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 "Zulan" wrote: > Hi Larry, I have good news for you.
