When running an image location check for about 60 computers at the same time, all with the same UNC path, why do 75% return "Bad Path" while others succeed? - Connect IT Community | Kaseya
<main> <article class="userContent"> <p>QUESTION</p> <p>When running an image location check for about 60 computers at the same time, and all with the same UNC path (for both folder and volume path), why do 75% return "Bad Path" while others succeed?<br><br>Running the check again will show that computers that succeed a second ago now return "Bad Path" and other that failed before now succeed. Nothing has changed.<br><br>If the test is run in group of less that 30 computer, then all succeed.</p> <p><br>This is due to a limitation of the target device. If the device is a windows machine, then you may be hitting a maximum number of concurrent connections limit.This has been seen with various NAS devices - they cannot handle many connections at once, in fact the Lacie NAS boxes have a hard limit of 5 concurrent connections.</p> <p> </p> <p>ANSWER</p> <p>Stagger the tests to confirm that all the settings are correct, and ensure that you dont ask all the machines to hit that box at the same time in future.</p> <p><br>Example outside of kaseya -<a rel="nofollow" href="/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.microsoft.com%2Fcommunities%2Fnewsgroups%2Fen-us%2Fdefault.aspx%3Fdg%3Dmicrosoft.public.windows.server.sbs%26tid%3D6fb8637b-18d9-4f40-af7e-48a5312659b5%26p%3D1">http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs&tid=6fb8637b-18d9-4f40-af7e-48a5312659b5&p=1</a></p> <p> </p> <p>APPLIES TO</p> <p>Kaseya Server<br>NAS<br>Patch management<br>Backup</p> </article> </main>
