    UNS hosting lan manager limits - how to change under longhorn?

    Exception message: Failed to start monitoring changes to '\\hosting.local\hosting\andole\wsv-122-369-919\www' because the network BIOS command limit has been reached. For more information on this error, please refer to Microsoft knowledge base article 810886. Hosting on a UNC share is not supported for the Windows XP Platform.

    ???

     I have applied the registry keys from the article in question - i in fact have them in .reg files ready to just click on them.

    They seem to make nothing.

    Was that changed? I now run into this issue, and I am surprised it has not been fixed yet.

    I'm not sure this has anything to do with IIS more so the OS layer.  I'd either post in a Longhorn / Vista newsgroup.  The message mentions XP, except you mentioned Vista / Longhorn.  A new version of SMB was introduced with Longhorn, but it will use SMB 1.0 when XP talks to Longhorn.  SMB 2.0 is only used when Longhorn / Vista talks to Longhorn / Vista machines.  Sounds like a bug with SMB.  You might want to post the steps you are doing to reproduce the issue, then this can be submitted to MS for review.

    Well, I just post it here because..... the issue is one of windows hosting.

    The scenario I do use is particularly the one out of the iis web hoster guide, using a UNC share. So, I consider this to be definitly at least an omission of information on the hosting guide. Do you know the support group / forum where to take this as an OS issue?

    What I DO different is that I do have the file store on - a windows 2003 R2 server. Given that I have an existing infrastructure customers use, I did not think anything bad about accessing the files from my old location. I did not even know there is a SMB 2.0 coming. I jsut thought it is nice that existing customers can be repoint their site to longhorn without any additional changes. The hosting guide says nothing about registry key changes.

    I made the registry changes from the kb article that should raise this limit (and it works on 2003R2 - i have them in a batch file for new web servers), but they do get ignored.

    So, where is a good place to post this os level question?

    And I think we answer pretty well too, I wonder sometimes by your comments, but I think we do ok..  :)  You can post any Longhorn related questions here.  http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/default.aspx?ForumGroupID=161&SiteID=17  If you are part of the beta program, you can post in the beta newsgroups.  Information where to post is available in your connect.microsoft account.

    SMB 2.0 is part of the File services role that will be available in Longhorn.  Good luck.

    Ah, technet. Not hanging up there too often. I overlooked them. I will post there.

    In the meantime I am moving storage to a longhorn server, so SMB 2.0 should get in. Seems the limits thing is handled different there. Was about time :-)
