SYMPTOMS
========

When you use a Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 server that has a virtual
directory and that connects remotely over a Universal Naming Convention (UNC)
share, you may receive a 550 error message in the File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
log, and the event log may show event ID 2009 with a source of Srv. This
behavior occurs most often when antivirus software is running on the server.

CAUSE
=====

The network server process provides remote procedure call (RPC) support and
file, print, and named pipe sharing. When IIS connects to a remote server, it
uses the server message block (SMB) protocol and connects to the server service
that is running on that computer. Another process that is running on the
computer may also have open file handles for the files that are being
transferred to the remote server. When the total number of open file handles
reaches 2048, the server process returns an error to the connecting IIS FTP
service.

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.
