Hi,
After upgrade from D3NT 7.3.4 to 7.4.4 we are constantly getting D3_RPC
errors and eventually it shuts down the server without warning. This
happens at least once a day. We've recently upgraded to 7.4.5 but the
problems are the same.
RD support doesn't know what the problem is.....
These problems are the same on Win 2000 server and Win XP server, so my
guess is that it must be D3.
Has anyone had this sort of problems with it? Do you have any
solutions?
Do you think it would be a good idea to change it back to 7.3.4?

Thank you

What does the Event Viewer show as a typical error?

Are they "application" or "system" errors?

It is application error log.
Usually D3_RPC ... Cannot get a valid binding handle

That usually means the system name has changed and now D3 can't find itself.

I feel like that a lot.

Thanks Mark,
this is a new installation so the name hasn't changed.

Mark's probably right, the 'mds server name' doesn't resolve [seen through
microsoft's SMB networking subsystem] to this box's tcp/ip address;
testing for this is easy;
1) go into the d3/nt config windows and note down the mds server name
you've declared, for example mybox. Should match this computer's
windows networking id
2) open a command prompt window and run commands to test that this
box considers itself to be of that name

ping mybox

net view mybox
{shows list of printer/disk shares, or says so if there are none.
doing net view bozo
where there is no such computer bozo will pause and then gripe}

Frank,
all these settings have been checked and they are ok.
We had RD support looking into this and they couldn't find anything.
