#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : "The specified network name is no longer available" Fix : Raise the file server's SMB resource limits Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/srv-smb-network-name Run as : Elevated PowerShell on the file server Expect : 40 minutes Risk : medium Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX Several clients are affected by one server. Event 2017 confirms it. HOW TO UNDO IT Set Size back to its previous value and MaxThreadsPerQueue to 20. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
