Not enough server storage is available to process this command.
Another frustrating error message. Here’s the full message:
\\server\sharename is not accessible.
You might not have permission to use this network resource.
Contact the administrator of this server to find out
if you have access permissions.Not enough server storage is available to process this command.
It’s useless. The message implies that one of two things are wrong:
- I no longer have permission.
- The server is full.
Neither is true of course, and you could spend an afternoon looking for the source of the problem.
The answer is buried in a Microsoft article titled “Antivirus software may cause Event ID 2011″. Of course, this is the sort of thing that makes the typical user absolutely nuts.
Let me back up and restart this rant properly. I have a Windows server. It has some shares. Clients on the network do backups daily to those shares. One day, they start getting this error message. Why? Nothing else has changed. Not only that, but other shares on the same machine work fine.
So here is the solution:

It’s enough to make you crazy.
The server knows it hasn’t got enough stack space? And it knows that it just needs to allocate more? So do it already. I’m betting that the programmers that coded the error routine could have coded a self-healing routine instead.
