Cross Platform LAN Error Fix

How to solve "Error 0x8007046a: Not enough server storage is available to process this command"​

I ran into this error recently and found the following solved my problem. This may work for other cross platform LAN problems also.

   Warning

this involves editing the registry. You should backup your registry before making any changes

1. Click the start orb and type "regedit" in the search box

2. Right-click regedit.exe and "Run as Adminstrator"

3. Advance to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

4. If IRPStackSize exists in the registry, change it's decimal value to 20 (or more if needed to a max value of 50)

5. If it doesn't exist, create a New DWORD and set it's value as above.
WARNING: You must enter it exactly as IRPStackSize.

6. Still in the registry, advance to the location below and change its value to 1. NOTE: This tells Windows that you want to use this PC as a file server.

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\LargeSystemCache

7. Now, advance to the location below and change this value to 3.

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\Size

   Tip

This should be done on all PCs on the LAN.

8. Reboot all PCs

Thanks tw33k!

I know this thread is now 6 years old but I just wanted to drop a thank you for posting this, it got me out of a really sticky situation. I'd spent 3 full days trying to find out why I was receiving that error, trying reg hacks and browsing probably close to 100 different articles and nothing worked.

Step 6 of this guide is exactly what I needed, it fixed my problem. So thank you.

I was trying to copy from a brand new Dell 7910 Precision workstation (Xeon, 32GB, RAID5, Win7 Pro x64) to about 12 x 5-year-old Dell Vostro's with Win 7 Pro 32bit and was having nothing but trouble. This guide saved my sanity. Hopefully, it helps someone else.
