Hi Everyone,
Recently I’ve noticed strange behavior with SBS2008 SP2.
After starting Safely Remove Hardware procedure in order to remove external USB drive, client computers start to have problems communicating with the server. Shared folders cannot be accessed from client computers; client computers cannot resolve DNS queries…
At the same time server appears to work normally. The only indication of the problem is that server reports DCOM error with communication to some of the client computers. There are no reports of any other errors.
“DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer xxxxxxxx using any of the configured protocols.”
Event Id 10009, Task category: None, etc….
After resetting the server, all problems disappear and everything works fine until next attempt to safely remove hardware, e.g. Mass storage drive.
Server is fully patched and tested for viruses daily.
Any suggestions, please?
