Hi ,@David: after changing registry the issue did not resolved. Vministrator mentioned in his first post that he changed registry entry so was curious to know which registry he changed.@vministrator: You can define the value till 30 and test your behavior.FYI : by increasing the value , srv.sys file allocates the desired stack locations for the IRP's

Hi Vministrator,Does this registry key (IRPStackSize) resolve this issue on your side?Thanks. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. do i need to restart the server to see any changes? if so then the server is scheduled to restart after 2 weeks.

Hi,As the registry is under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System, it need to restart to take into effect. Please let me know if it works when you have chance to schedule to reboot. Thanks.This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
