Hi, <br />
<br />
We are getting the following error from an SBS 2003 server. This has started happening in the last few weeks seemingly out of the blue. No changes have been made to the setup to cause this that we can see.<br />
<br />
Event Type: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Error<br />
Event Source: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Service Control Manager<br />
Event Category: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;None<br />
Event ID: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7011<br />
<br />
Description:<br />
Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for a transaction response from the NtFrs service.<br />
<br />
<br />
We have tried increasing NTFRS timeout value via the registry. This has helped alot. It was happening around once every 30 mins or so, where-as it's now happening once every 4 or 5 hours, but that's still worrying. <br />
<br />
When this happens the server appears to freeze for a bit, with all connections stopping, then it carrys on. <br />
<br />
We have run a full chkdsk /f of the disks, but nothing appears to be up there. There arent any other disk related errors in the event log at all. <br />
<br />
Any suggestions how we move forward?<br />
<br />

NTFRS timeouts

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
