SYMPTOMS
A named pipe server application running on a Windows NT Server creates a
large number (for example, 100) of separate, distinct named pipes (for
example, \\pipe\pipe001, \\pipe\pipe002, etc.).
CAUSEThis limit on the number of network connections to named pipes from a single client is imposed by the MaxMpxCt registry value for the LanmanServer service on the Windows NT Server. MORE INFORMATION
The MaxMpxCt Registry value is described as follows in the Windows NT
Resource Kit Registry Help file:
Provides a suggested maximum to clients for the number of simultaneous requests outstanding to this server. A higher value can increase server performance but requires higher use of server work items. RESOLUTIONEither increase the server's MaxMpxCt registry value, or redesign the client/server application to use fewer named pipes. Redesigning the client/server application is recommended, because this minimizes server resource usage and results in a much more scaleable solution. Additional query words: 3.50 3.5 3.51
