Persistent Sharepoint Server Error Events

Hi -

I'm running Sharepoint Services 3.0 and am seeing 3 different errors logged every single minute - IDs 6398, 7076, and 6482. Searches on these IDs have shown that other users are seeing them for different reasons. They all have to do with a "lack of storage" somewhere. Below are the pasted contents of 1 of each of these errors:

They don't seem to be "breaking" my sharepoint implementation in any noticable fashion, but 3 errors every minute are worth investigating. Thanks in advance for any help anyone may be able to provide.

Thank you
KADIYALA
well actually that couldnt be it... because i actually restarted before thinking that it was from the RAM. it went away, and then it is recurring... 1 day in couple of days out...
marsboee

Yes, we have this too.

We also have issues with not being able to view sites in explorer view.

EXACTLY same problem here

in 2 different, physically seperated domains.

We're logging this issue as well, though we have no visible issues being reported.

Well I had this problem 2, it stayed on my server for 3 days and then was gone all by itself !!!

Had my RAM upgrade, im working with 4GB now. and it's working like a charm (looks like sharepoint is a sucker for RAM !!!!).

I got rid of the three errors.

Good Luck guys.

Well, about my post earlier, after the errors disappeared from the lof, i got three new recurring errors instead, they have the same Event IDs. but the errors are different, instead of "not enough memory", now its saying that: " the path specified cannot be used at this time". I've posted my errors in another thread...

M upgrading my RAM today. i'll keep you posted if it does any difference.

> Had my RAM upgrade, im working with 4GB now. and it's working like a charm (looks like sharepoint is a sucker for RAM !!!!). I got rid of the three errors.

If you were getting the error - "Not enough storage ... to complete this command" (something to that effect) it may have been the reboot after the RAM upgrade that got rid of the message. I started getting the message with a 4GB server and I finally gave up and rebooted and the error went away. That's been weeks ago and the error message is yet to return. Although, I'm sure Sharepoint is happier with your extra RAM.

I think this error might be really related to memory issues:

I have two gig ram and never had this errors before suddently they appeared and they disappeared same way I havent done anything.

I think here is a possible explanation: Sharepoint may have a range of memory to work within if a task overpasses this range the application would keep throwing this errors . Once the task has ended up erros disappear.

Problem is to know if Sharepoint has such a registry key to work with a certain memory and if you are really able to change this

Hi,

I created to domain accounts, Sharepoint, and SharepointAdmin. I made the application pool for the Admin web site (ends in V3) SharepointAdmin and set the rest to Sharepoint.

In local groups and users, I placed SharepointAdmin in the group for WSS_Admin and Sharepiont in the other two (not restricted) - but this is all in the implementation guide, so I would have a look through that.

BTW the error has just come back as one of our guys try to deploy a new site through the configuration wizard - haven't yet fixed this.

I would have thought that some one in the Sharepoint Team would know about this as it seems a very common problem.

cheers
Carl C.

The error was solved by giving the applcation pools different domain accounts.

Still not perfect, but getting better: is seems that the security (both domain and SharePoint) is more more complex that before, which may contribute to the variety of errors experienced by both end-users and admin staff.
