FTP... ok, but what is the SCP or (ech)?
I hadn't thought of FTP. I generally don't turn it on because I get so many
unsolicited attempts to break in.

I connect to the domain via a wireless access point - one job is to develop
databases and frequently I move a large backup file from a laptop to the
domain. Unfortunately, the connection is not always what it should or could
be and the SBS DC interprets the missing packets as a bad sector on the hard
disk, shuts down the domain... wow, so annoying! The simple solution is to
never try to move a large file from the access point into the domain but that
is not a practical solution for this infrastructure.
Which is this. There is a WAP just over 50 feet away from my desk. It is
authenticated through IAS and SBS sees it like a machine on the network. The
IAS keeps just anyone from using it - anyone can login if they know the WAP
password, but it won't get them authenticated. That part is fine.
Since moving files conventionally seems to fail frequently I try to use the
ESE.DLL in conjunction with the ESEUTIL.EXE that comes with Exchange and then
pipe it:
eseutil /y "G:\BIGFILE" /d "\\dcserver\Users\myspace\BIGFILE.bak"
Neither this nor the file transfer method works. The minute the WAP gets
fuzzy and some packets are lost, SBS says - aha, I lost the file - must be my
hard disk so I am going to shut down and kaboom, down comes the domain.
What can I do to fix the server so that it doesn't interpret the file
transfers as a bad disk?
Yep, I have been doing this for about a year - I go back, run the chkdsk for
bad sectors on the mirror - nothing - the disks are fine. It is essentially
something in the makeup of the way SBS is interpreting the file as it comes
across from the WAP.
If I didn't think it would raise hackles all over the place, I would call it
a bug. Think of a disgruntled employee on a WAP and you'll get the picture.
Have you tried a file transfer system, such as Filezilla, SCP or (ech)
FTP? It's going to take longer than CIFS/SMB, but fault tolerance always
comes at a price. A reliable protocol is just an unreliable one with
lots of patience.
