Mac client issues

[William M. Smith]

I have windows 2000 server running service for mac.
I'm getting these event id's
"Event ID: 12053 or 12054 or 12061 Session from
user "USERNAME" was timed out and disconnected by the
server. The AppleTalk address of the Macintosh workstation
is in the data."

Hi Jimmy!

The cause of these messages can be attributed to different things, but don't
necessarily indicate that your server is responsible for the disconnection.

You'll see these when Macs crash while connected to the server and the
connection is not cleanly disconnected first.

Hope this helps! bill

I have 3 design co.'s that are using 2000 servers for file storrage
for mac's
All 3 are having the same problem:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: MACSRV
Event Category: None
Event ID: 12061
Date: 7/16/2003
Time: 11:58:10 AM
User: N/A
Computer: NTSERVER
Description:
Session from user "BARB" was timed out and disconnected by the server.
The IP address of the Macintosh workstation is in the data.
Data:
0000: 00 00 04 00 02 00 52 00 ......R.
0008: 00 00 00 00 1d 2f 00 00 ...../..

Every KB artical is no help
I have reserched this problem to no end

I know it's not a network problems
I know it's not crash related
I know it's not sleep related
I know it's not Large file related
I have set sessions to never time out
I know microsoft wants to bill 500 dollers for an incident that they
can't fix
if they could there would not be over 500 posts on this issue with no
resolution

I am fed up with this error

You are reporting seeing a message in the Event log.

If your Macs themselves suddenly receive a message indicating something to
the effect of "The File Server has unexpectedly shut down" then you have a
legitimate problem.

However, if your only evidence is this message, you'll never get it
resolved. Your users may be shutting down their Macs without disconnecting
first from the server or they may really be crashing. Most likely it's a
combination of these.

If you read it closer, the order of events is 1.) The session times out and
then 2.) The server disconnects the session. The server is disconnecting a
dead session and just letting you know about it.

The server reports this as an error only because a Mac didn't say "good-bye"
before it left the network (leaving an open session behind to time out).

This event is in no way indicating that the server is chopping off an active
session.

Hope this helps! bill

The user is getting knocked off while they are using the file's so
there is no reasion for a time out
as well the user does not shut down their workstation and this still
happens
it's random and i have seen it first hand there the user is working
on a photoshop file for example and wile she is working it pops up
that message and the user has to reboot befor she can log back in to
the share
