Stumped!

[tekkey2007@hotmail.com]

Hi All,

Hope someone has seen this problem and has a solution. I have a
Windows 2003 SP1 member server of a Windows 2003 domain. Every few
days the server will stop accepting connections to shares, printers,
RDP attempts, etc. The clients will receive an error message similar
to "Access Denied". When this happens, I am able to log on at the
console. Hoever, I cannot hit the Internet. If I run Netdiag, all of
the domain type tests fail. Netdiag is normal when the problem is not
occurring.

In the Event Viewer is an event 5719 that contains the following text:
"This computer was not able to set up a secure session with a domain
controller in domain Domain_name due to the following:
Not enough storage is available to process this command.
This may lead to authentication problems. Make sure that this computer
is connected to the network. If the problem persists, please contact
your domain administrator."

There is plenty of disk space on the box. So I am assuming this error
is referring to memory. I've set the pagefile to 1.5 times physical
RAM (1048 MB), I know that's weak. I have another gig on the way, and
that may cure the problem. If not, I'm not sure what else it could
be. I've also installed the latest firmware and driver for the NIC
and reset the TCP/IP stack. I've seen some KB articles that mention
the error, but nothing really applies. One more thing, when I first
starting looking at this, I found the clock was 7 minutes off from the
DC. I thought that was it, but I wasn't so lucky.

Any ideas?

How about installing SP2? 1GB isn't that bad for RAM spec if it's a
lighter duty server. I don't know of any issues with SP2 and RDP and
there are no Known Issues with SP2 in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945977 that would affect you. It could
be a memory leak of some sorts but those have been addressed with
hotfixes, esp. the Non-paged Pool memory exhaustion issue. Most other
issues in the KB have fixes as well. I'd say get the server up to
speed in terms of SP2 and go from there.

Oh and I forgot to ask, did you install the Scalable Networking Pack?

I was thinking of installing SP2. There is one app running on the
box, so I'd have to make sure it is compatible. I have not installed
the Scalable Networking Pack. Should I?

It's automatically installed with SP2 but some people have experienced
anomalies with the Scalable Networking Pack "TCP Chimney" feature. The
KB from my earlier post does include a remedy. What app is this? SP2
didn't break any apps like SP1 did but at least go and ensure the app
is fully patched up.
