Server 2003 SBS

Hi all, I find this forum really helpful so I thought I would sign up and take part

I am hoping someone can shed some light on this strange issue I have been having.

I have restored a backup to almost identical hardware (test server) minus 2gb of ram, minus 1 network card and different hard drives. After restoring I keep getting the server lockup, the error is:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7011
Date: 11/01/2011
Time: 5:25:50 AM
User: N/A
Computer: SBS
Description:
Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for a transaction response from
the NtFrs service.

I have researched this issue and most seem to only get the server lockup for 60 seconds, however I have to power cycle.

Production Server:
HP ML115 G1
4gb ram
Adaptec 1220SA RAID card
2 Network Cards
Samsung 500gig drive (was 2 in RAID1 but secondary died and replacement caused no end of issues but that is a different story).

Test Server:
HP ML115 G1
2gb ram
Adaptec 1220SA RAID Card
1 Network Card
2x Western Digital 750gig drives in RAID1 partitioned exactly as the 500gb with the remained left unallocated.

It seems once the raid1 has finished verifying the system locks up about 10-20 minutes after, this could be purely a coincidence though.

I have nothing connected to the network card and tried stopping the File Replication Service but still it locks up. I am yet to try changing the “Autodisconnect value to 0xfffff” but I’m sceptical this will solve it as the server never recovers from the lockup compared with other people’s experiences.

I was wondering if anyone had any possible causes of this problem given the scenario?
