Windows 2003 Server Not enough server storage is available to process this command

[JackTheKnife]

When I try to get to any mapped drivers located on the Windows 2003 Server I always got message: "Not enough server storage is available to process this command". Any idea what is wrong? Thanks

try this from a command prompt
NET USE X: \\UNCPATH\FOLDER

report back any errors

If this indeed works you will need a syntax:

/PERSISTENT:YES

Assuming the 2kj3 server you are talking about is 32-bit, the target 2k3 server has a memory pool that is depleted, and it can't allocate more RAM to from the pool to allow another new network connection to the server. This typically happens due to a poorly written app or driver leaking memory on the server.

Restricted pools in order of the most likely culprit:
kernel non-paged pool
kernel paged pool
NetBIOS allocation pool

Certain memory managment modifiers in boot.ini can make this happen much more quickly (/3GB switch). Using the /3GB switch cuts the kernel non-paged pool in half, the kernel paged pool by 33%, and reduces the page table free entry tracking table to 1/4 its normal size.

If its a 64-bit OS on the target server, you have a NetBIOS allocation pool depletion. the other pools are huge and won't be depleted unless you have a memory leak thats in the 100's of MB a day with a machine that's been up and running for a year...
