APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1, when used with:
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition (32-bit x86)
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition (32-bit x86)
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Web Edition
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition for Itanium-based Systems
SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You try to use the local Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path to copy a file that is larger than 16,705 bytes from a local disk to a local share. You use a computer that is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1). The file that you copy to the share is then corrupted. The data corruption appears in the Server Message Block (SMB) header that is embedded in the data of the destination file.
Furthermore, only the destination file appears corrupted, not the source file. The content of the destination file shows the following characters:
FF 53 4D 42 2F
These characters translate to an "SMB WRITE AndX" request.
For example, this problem may occur when Microsoft CRM publishes changes to the local Web server by copying the files to the following folder:
\\Server_Name\C$\Inetpub\Wwwroot
In this scenario, the published files that are copied into the Wwwroot folder may be corrupted, and the CRM application may stop working.
Note This problem is most likely to occur on CRM Web servers. However, the problem may also occur on any Windows Server 2003-based computer.
CAUSE
This problem may occur if you have installed Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) on a computer that is running Windows Server 2003 with SP1.
