SYMPTOMS

No More Internal File Identifiers Available

-or-

You may receive the following event in the system event log:

Event Id: 2009

Source: Srv

Description: The server could not expand a table because the table reached the maximum size.

With the 11th DWORD at 0x28 equal to 0x3e9 (SRV_TABLE_FILE). This indicates that no more file IDs (FIDs) can be allocated to process the various open file server message blocks (SMBs) because of a shortage of available FIDs.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if a third-party program has leaked memory and/or resources.

NOTE: One such program is Acrobat Distiller (Distasst.exe) version 3.0 which is part of Acrobat Exchange.



RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, end the offending task.
