why my fix worked.
One of our SQL server was seeing numerous errors in the System event log. The error was:
Code: Select all
MRxSmb Event ID 3034
The redirector was unable to initialize security context or query context attributes.
The tests were performance monitor checks of CPU utilization. The "check counter" value was set to:
\\WGSQL13\Processor(2)\% Processor Time
When I changed this to simply
\Processor(2)\% Processor Time
the errors stopped. The odd thing is that I've got 2 other SQL servers configured exactly like this one and using \\Servername\countername syntax does not cause a problem.
Also, I'm checking a different perf counter on the same machine,
\\WGSQL13\Memory\% Committed Bytes In Use
and it does not cause the MRxSmb errors.
Any thoughts? (No rush, as I've said, I've got it working)
