Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested serv

We have had a similar issue on our file server. On the file server are there
any System event ID 2020 logged when this happens and does the Windows server
seem to lockup at the console requiring a hard reboot to fix?

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Srv
Event ID: 2020
Description:
The server was unable to allocate from the system paged pool because the
pool was empty.

| Hello,
|
| Thank you for your post as well as to Lanwench for the information
sharing.
|
| I agree with Lanwench that this issue might be caused by Trend Micro. As
we
| know, antivirus software, which adds filter drivers to file system, is
one
| of the possible causes of this kind of SMB share access issue.
|
| Therefore, I recommend you do the following tests to narrow down this
issue:
|
| 1. Temporarily uninstall Trend Micro and then please have another test
and
| check whether the issue still exists.
|
| 2. If the above step makes no improvement, please boot both the file
server
| and the XP client into a Clean Boot environment to test it again.
|
| To perform a clean boot, please do as follows:
| On a problematic server perform a clean boot and check if the issue
still
| exists
| a. Click Start->Run...->type msconfig and press Enter
| b. Click Services tab and select Hide All Microsoft Services and Disable
| All third party Services.
| c.. Click Startup tab and Disable All startup items
| d. Click OK and choose Restart
| e. After reboot, check whether the problem still occurs
|
| Meanwhile, we need to collect more information to isolate the root cause
if
| this problem continues:
|
| 1. Does this issue happen for all users or just some specific users?
| 2. Does this issue happen for all files or just the application files?
| Please try to save a small .txt file to the remote share. Does the same
| issue exist?
| 3. Could you save files to the remote share before? If so, what changes
| have been made recently, such as the installation of some software?
|
| Thanks again for your time and attention. I look forward to hearing from
| you.

If you have had Norton on that machine and removed it, you might want to
check and see
if this one applies in your case (I have run into this one before)
