Hi Doug,
 
This is may be irrelevant but your problem could be that you're running out of 
SMB file handles.
 
Win2k has a default limit of 2096 (?) SMB file handles that can be open on a 
server. 
 
Check out Microsoft technote 818528. This describes a registry hack that ups 
the number of file handles to 2096 per user. It's interesting to note that this 
used to be settable in NT 4 TSE, just one of the many TS tweaks lost in win2k 
:-(
 
Anyway, if you add the following to your machine configuration policy template 
it'll do the trick for you. 
 
POLICY "Set Multi-user Data Structures" 
KEYNAME "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MRxSmb\Parameters"  
    PART "Enable multiuser data structures (KB818528)" CHECKBOX  
        VALUENAME "MultiUserEnabled" 
            VALUEON NUMERIC 1 
            VALUEOFF NUMERIC 0       
    END PART 
END POLICY ; multi-user data 
 
A reboot will be required.
 
regards,
 
Rick

Subject: [THIN] Off topic? W2k Server CMFPS


For the last few weeks we have had this problem pop up out of nowhere.
 
Can't map drives to a random server\share.
Does not seem to be a specific server\share that fails from week to week.
 
When we try to connect to an existing mapped drive we get (for example) H:\ is 
not accessible.  The device does not recognize the command.
 
I can ping the server\share.  Just can't map to it.  I can map to it from 
another server.
 
Any idea's?
 
Only solution we have come up with is to reboot the citrix server.
 
Thanks
 
Doug Stratton
