Default Max File share connections / W2000

Our document imaging is stored on a W2000 machine (the scanning machine). This consists of a database, but the documents are stored as .tifs, so once the resultset comes from database the client can load whichever pages to do with that query.

We're finding that occasionally when people try to connect they get a windows error saying the maximum number of connections has been reached.

Is there any way (registry??) to change this?

Andy,

Do you use a client application that requires more licences? If not then you're probably out of licences on the server. If its set to "Per Server" and you've specified x numbers then you might be over that (check this in control panel->licencing). Check how many you are using in control panel->administrative tools->Licencing products view tab.

HTH

Is it running Workstation or Server? If its workstation then the number of connections is limited (hard coded) to 10.

Yeah it's workstation as its just slung on someone's pc (already set up like that before i started work there). The doc-imaging company suggested that was fine (tossers!).

XP Pro is still 10, XP Home is 5.

Upgrade to a server required.

In the meantime you should be able to use computer manager to view what the current connections are on the shares and kick off the older connections!
