Delayed Write Failed

Hello,

When files are saved from win2k sp4 pro workstation to
win2k sp4 server I occasionally get this error. "Delayed
Write Failed".

Event Log "event" 50, "Source" MRxSmb, and "Data" c000020c
leads me to the following microsoft article
kb831373, "Delayed Write Failed" error message when you
copy a large file to Windows NT Server 4.0.

Problem is that the article only deals with NT 4.0 Server.
I would appreciate any input on this error condition with
win2k.

Hi

Have you found a solution for this problem?
I'm having the same thing in a WinXP VMWARE session.

Visual studio .NET tries to save .projdata files in my working folder
that is on a network.

I have found that "Delayed Write Failed" errors (eventlog event ID 50),
with a source of MRxSmb (which means the failure came when trying to
write to a network share) can be be caused when the network adaptors in
question (on both the client and the server) have been configured to
autonegotiate the speed/duplex settings of the link. Changing the
network adaptor's properties so that the speed/duplex is 100mbps/full
duplex (for example, pick values that make sense for your network) may
help to elminate this problem.

In my case, I was doing a backup from an XP client (sp2), to a share on
an Windows 2003, sp1, server. The backup would consistently fail with
a "delayed write failure" on the client. Changing the adaptors out of
autonegotiate mode eliminated the problem. More info at

Thanks,
This just solved that problem for me.

Have you resolved this issue yet? I have a clinet running SBS 2K3 with mixed
2KPro and XP sp2 clinets, all of the running current patch levels including
the server. When working with flat file database files this error rears it's
ugly head.
