P2VDR not seeing the destination share OR
Not enough server storage is available to process this command.
When troubleshooting a job that fails to attach to a remote server, one of the first steps to access the server is to be able to verify an administrative share. When attempting to access this admin share by using the command net use * \\ServerName\c$, the error "Not enough server storage is available to process this command" is displayed.
This error will occur if the default value set for the IRPStackSize parameter, on the remote server, is too low. The Event Viewer on the remote server reports the error message given below:
Event ID: 2011 Source: Server
The server's configuration parameter "irpstacksize" is too small for
the server to use a local device. Please increase the value of this
Modifying the value of the IRPStackSize parameter (on the remote server) to a larger size should allow access without these errors. To do this, follow the instructions given below:
1. Click Start | Run
2. Type regedt32 and then click OK
*WARNING*
Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may
require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee
that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be
solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
3. Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
4. In the right pane, double-click the IRPStackSize value
NOTE: If the IRPStackSize value does not already exist, use the following procedure to create it:
a. In the Parameters folder of the registry, right-click the right pane
b. Select New | DWord Value
c. Type IRPStackSize
IMPORTANT: Type IRPStackSize exactly as it is displayed because the value name is case-sensitive.
5. Change the Base to decimal
6. In the Value Data box, type a value that is larger than the value that is listed
If you created the IRPStackSize value using the procedure described in step 4, the default value is 15. It is recommended that you increase the value by 3. Therefore, if the previous value was 15, type 18, and then click OK.
7. Close the Registry Editor
8. Reboot the server
If the problem persists after you complete the preceding procedure, try to increase the value of IRPStackSize even more. The maximum value for Windows 2000 is 50 (0x32 hex).
If you are running Windows NT 4.0, and the problem persists after you complete the preceding procedure, you may have to apply Windows NT Service Pack 4 or Service Pack 5.
