Why do I receive the error “Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service”

In Registry Editor, browse to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\ and add the following DWORD value:  AsynchronousCredits

Set the Data to be a Decimal value of 1024 The default is 512. This parameter limits the number of concurrent asynchronous SMB commands that are allowed on a single connection. Some file clients such as IIS servers require a large amount of concurrency, with file change notification requests in particular. The value of this entry can be increased to support these clients.

Turn off the auto-disconnect feature

Windows will drop idle connections after a specified time-out period, I think it is 15 minutes by default, to prevent wasting resources. You can, however, easily re-establish the connection manually.

If you wish to turn off the auto-disconnect feature, type the following in an elevated command prompt and hit Enter.

net config server /autodisconnect:-1

Turn off auto-tuning network

If it occurs while copying large files over network drives, it could be due to the auto-tuning network.

To turn it off, open an elevated command prompt windows, type the following, and hit Enter:

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

Go to Device Manager, network adapters and find the ethernet one.

– right click for properties – advanced 

Disable Energy efficient ethernet (and or green energy) and Wake on magic packet.

Registry Settings

These registry values must be created on the SMB gateway, which is specified in the repository settings as “Gateway server”. If the gateway is set to “automatic”, add these registry values to all Windows servers managed by Veeam Backup & Replication.

  • NetUseShareAccess
    For Veeam B&R 8.0.0.917 or later, the following registry value allows Data Movers to open backup files by a resilient method similar to the Windows net use command.
     Key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup and Replication\
    DWORD: NetUseShareAccess
    Value: 1
    Note: If credentials are required, specify Domain\User or Host\User in the repository settings. .\User credentials are not supported with NetUseShareAccess. For example, specify “NAS-01\Admin” instead of “.\Admin”.
     
  • SessTimeout
    This increases the amount of time the Windows SMB client will wait for a response from an SMB server before it aborts the connection. The default timeout is one minute.
    Note: Reboot Required
     Key: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters\
    DWORD: SessTimeout
    Value: 600
    Note:This is a value in seconds. Try a value of 600 decimal (10 minutes).
     
  • TcpMaxDataRetransmissions
    This increases the number of times the Windows TCP implementation will retransmit a data segment before it aborts the connection.
    Note: Reboot Required
     Key: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
    DWORD: TcpMaxDataRetransmissions
    Value: 10 (Default: 5)
Prerequisites:
  Ensure the the target machine has PowerShell Remoting Enabled (as it's Disabled by default)

PS C:\Users\kimconnect\Desktop\Notes> Enable-PSRemoting -Force
WinRM has been updated to receive requests.
WinRM service type changed successfully.
WinRM service started.

Alternative method:
a. Get PSExec: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psexec > extract copy contents into %windir% or "C:\Windows"

b. Run this command:
psexec \\hdqfswp001 reg add “HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters” /v SessTimeout /t REG_DWORD /d 3600 /f

Add this registry key to increase File Session Timeout:

$serverName="FILESERVER01"
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $serverName -ScriptBlock {reg add “HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters” /v SessTimeout /t REG_DWORD /d 3600 /f }

Solve Windows 10 does not automount USB Drives anymore

My Windows 10 machine started behaving weirdly and did not mount any USB Drives / Harddrives and such anymore. I had to open the Disk Management Tool and mount them manually, which is quite inconvenient. So I was looking up the error and came across the nearly perfect solution at http://woshub.com/windows-doesnt-assign-letters-to-external-and-usb-flash-drives/ . However, I did change it a bit so that the VDS is changed to automatically start on boot via the CLI :).

Oh, and yes, you need to do this from an admin cmd 😉

First thing to check if something is wrong, is if your VDS (Virtual Disk Service) works. If not, set it to start on boot and start the service:

sc query vds
sc config vds start= auto
sc start vds
sc query vds

If automounting still not works, it could be deactivated. Start diskpart, watch the status of automount and if it is disabled, activate it.

diskpart
DISKPART> automount
DISKPART> automount enable
DISKPART> exit
