Not enough server storage is available to process this command

Written by

Not enough server storage is available to process this command is a message that you can receive when you try to access a shared resource on a network.

The Event ID: 2011 may also be written referring to the configuration parameter IRPStackSize.

If the IRPStackSize is not present in the Registry, the default value which may not be large enough for the server service to administer shared folders on some of the physical drives.

Increasing this value requires some memory from the non-allocated memory pool, but the impact should not be noticeable.


To solve this problem

  • open the Registry
  • Navigate to the key

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
     
  • Check if the string IRPStackSize exists. If it does not exist create a new Dword with the name IRPStackSize.

The default value for this Dword is 18 and you should raise the value by adding 3 to it. The first value for IRPStackSize would be 21. Reboot your computer and see if that solved the problem. If you still get the error message add 3 again and reboot your computer again.

The maximum size for IRPStackSize is 50.


Value Name: IRPStackSize
Data Type: DWORD
Default: 0x4
Maximum: 0xC
