Intermittent file copy failures

[Guest BrentM]

Hello,

 

I have an issue whereby only after moving the server to Win2k3 x64 the file

copy is failing. It is in the same environment as before being used just as

it was before now only x64. In the past there wasn't a problem when it was

x86. We're copying a SQL backup file from the server to a network drive on a

x86 server. I have partially resolved the problem in that some of the errors

that were being logged in the event log were caused by NetBIOS issues

(changed the setting to use NetBIOS over TCP/IP). There was a period where it

was always failing after the same amount of time but that is not not the

case. the original x86 server still exists so I've made sure all the network

settings are the same.

 

As x64 is becoming more popular then I'm hoping someone has already resolved

something similar. I've run out of ideas.

 

cheers,

Brent.
