We ran into this a few times also. APAR IC29491 - WITH SCHEDMODE PROMPTED NETWORK BREAKS COULD FREEZE A SCHEDULE. was opened for this.
This is now fixed in the 4.2.1 client, bypass is not to run schedmode prompted. Tim Rushforth City of Winnipeg -----Original Message----- From: Adam J. Boyer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2001 2:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: 40 NT servers suddenly failing A few days ago, about 40 NT/2000 clients failed to backup. The error for all of them was: ANR2716E Schedule prompter was not able to contact client CLIENT001 using type 1 (1.2.3.4 1501). The clients are 4.2.0 and the server is 4.2.1. Not only did they fail, but the client scheduler also became useless and had to be stopped and re-started on all of them. This had happened in the past to one or two servers occasionally, but this instance scared me. I also should mention that not all of our NT/2000 servers failed, but a lot of them did. I haven't talked to the network admins yet, but my feeling is that if there was a network problem, fine, the backups should fail. But the client schedulers shouldn't have needed to be stop-started. Any help would be very much appreciated. adam
