Upgraded from a Novell server to a windows 2003 server. System seemed to be working fine, but after users were in for a while, get errmsg.b, then when they try to go back in get error 3105. It looks like I moved my dba over the hard way after looking in the forum. Here is what I did:
1. I installed pervasive 2000i and dba classic to the 2003 server with the dba 2004.1 update disk 2-14-2004 (the last update provided by dba before they stopped support). Then I installed the iss tech 08-11-06 and 10-31-06 updates. (These were both installed on the Novell server). Then I created each company with identical company codes as the companies on the novell server. I unloaded the pervasive engines on both the novell server and the windows 2003 server. I deleted the files from the newly created company directories on the new server ie dbamfg\pl,dbamfg\ds etc and the dbamfg\default directory. Then I copied the files from the corresponding directories on the novell server and pasted them into the directories on the new server except for the loc files (~pvsw~.loc). I copied all the *.rtm files from \dbamfg over too. I started the pervasive services, and ran dba on the server. I logged in to all my companies, all my user setup and security was correct, I could access all the data fine etc. Created .ddf files for each company. At the workstations, dba ran from a drive mapped as f: so it ran from f:\dbamfg, which is the same way it is mapped to the new server. In pervasive control panel on the workstations, under configuration, client & client16bit, changed supported protocols to just TCP/IP, and registered the new engine(removed the old novell one if it existed). (First off I disabled client service for netware, nwlink netbios, nwlink ipx/spx-the netware server is no longer in use.) Logged users in from each workstation and it worked fine - but it was end of the day. Today they were in till 2:00 when we started getting the above errors. Getting everyone out, stopping the pervasive services and restarting them lets everyone back in for a few hours before it happens again. A significant number of the workstations are on static ips. DHCP is controlled by the router. On the clients in PCC under client, access, Target Engine:try server, then workstation, use local microkernel engine

n. I would appreciate any help. We do have a support contract with is tech, but Bill is gone this week, and Lynn wasn't available when I called. The 2003 server is configured as a workgroup server, it is not a domain controller.
