The short answer is disable SMB2/3 and turn off opportunistic locking on servers & workstations. MS has said multiple times they have corrected problems introduced with SMB2 but my experience has been that 99% of my data corruption issues went away by doing the above.
Here are some other useful links. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296264 http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/os_fileservices/thread/832d395b-6e6f-4658-8dbb-120138a4cd7c/ http://www.petri.co.il/how-to-disable-smb-2-on-windows-vista-or-server-2008.htm http://www.caseware.com/support/caseknowledge/kb-271 I've also got this in my bag of tricks HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters Create a DWORD value named DirectoryCacheLifetime and give it a binary or hexidecimal value of 0. I would also make sure that if you're using a share that you turn off off-line file support. -- rk -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alan Lukachko Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2014 2:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: VFP9.0 data corruption on Windows Server 2012 RC One of my customers recently purchased a new HP Reliant server with Windows Server 2012 R2 installed. The hardware vendor installed our program and data and it worked as before without a site visit on our part. Our VFP 9.0 program hasn't changed in more than 4 years. Now they get corruption of indexes. A message flashes up when this happens. They have yet to capture the content of it. I have been unable to see it remotely and it's a 3 hour journey to see it live. We have a way of repairing the DBC and a reindexing routine, which they can do themselves without our intervention. This doesn't happen every day and more random that regular. Any suggestions on what I could try remotely?
