AMON causes W2K3 SBS roaming profile fail

Small network, 1 x Windows 2003 Small Business Server and 7 x W2K Pro w/s. Users set with roaming profiles, and usually work at the same w/s, but sometimes move to another desk ( not all staff work 9-5 M-F )

All w/s running NOD32 OK.

Two weeks ago, a user logged on at w/s 103 ( usually at 102 ), and was unable to download her roaming profile, ( unable to copy one of the files ). Deleted part of the profile and tried again, and got same error but a bit more through the download/copy process. Had to disable AMON in order to logon, and delete entire profile and logon with AMON disabled, to get profile downloaded. Re-enable AMON, now can logon OK.

Today, a different user logged on at a w/s 107 ( usually at 105 ) and got same error as first user above.

Other users have logged on and off on other w/s over the past two weeks without any problems.


Any ideas on what's going on ?

 

Have you tried setting AMON to use the default extension set instead of scanning all files? (recommended for servers)

 

Thanks Marcos.

AMON is configured to scan all extensions. ( NOD32 configured as per Blackspear's tute )

NOD32 is not installed on the server, is only installed on the 7 w/s.

 

Removed the checkmark for "network" in the media section of AMON?

 

The original configuration when first installed provides for a very high level of detection and compatability.
Blackspears extra settings provide for maximum detection and automation. Note the different intent and that's why NOD32 doesn't come pre-configured as per Blackspears extra settings even though in many cases there is no issue when NOD32 is tuned that way.

What AV are you protecting your server with?

Cheers
