Network error message in event viewer

[gmaze]

I am running 5 file servers on different hosts. Each of these servers are getting the following error message in the event viewer. Anything I can look at for the cause and fix. I am using GB links.

Event Type: Warning

Event Source: Srv

Event ID: 2012

Description:

While transmitting or receiving data, the server encountered a network error. Occassional errors are expected, but large amounts of these indicate a possible error in your network configuration. The error status code is contained within the returned data (formatted as Words) and may point you towards the problem.

Data:

Hi,

I've just noticed these errors appearing on one of my VM's in the last couple of days, it's a W2K DC.

I'm currently investigating and I've asked one of our network engineers to check the switch to see if that's reporting any errors.

I'll let you know of the outcome

Cheers

Carl

Any luck finding a solution to your issue?

We are having Windows 2k3 server start showing the same 2012 error about once a day and become unresponsive. We have 7 other servers running on the same box and non have had an issue.

...we're having the same issue show, only this is on a Windows 2008 Server.

We just started seeing this as well. Server was running in test for a week or 2 with no problems. Since go-live on Monday we're seeing about 10-15 of these errors a day. Server 2008 x64 Standard on ESX 3.5U4. All latest patches installed. Server is running Trend Micro A/V agent, not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Any ideas?

It's Trend Micro

I wish we had Trend Micro!

We're having the same issue but we don't even have Trend Micro.

Nice, gotta love Trend Micro.

In a related issue, I've got a Microsoft Virtual Server (2005, not Hyper-V), and after installing Trend Micro all of my virtual servers lost network connectivity. Turns out it was the Trend Firewall Network driver in that caseas well. This driver is installed even if you don't have the firewall features enabled. I talked with Trend support and they gave me a procedure to modify the installation source to prevent the firewall driver from being installed. I uninstalled Trend from my MS Virtual Server and re-installed it after doing that and all was well. I will try the same procedure on my Windows 2008 file server and see if that fixes it while still giving my A/V protection.

Here are the steps to prevent the firewall driver from being installed, if anyone is interested:

Yes, it is a kluge, but the process came right from Trend Tech Support.

I am getting this error on a print server after going live with it. I am running 2008 R2 x64. any ideas? Printing becomes very unresponsive and people cannot print.
