I already read it but it doesn't help me so much... I have Windows 2000 with Service pack 4 and the latest updates. And I still don't know what SMBServer 5.0 is.

If you are using Small Bus Server, you have too many people using file file/print shares on the serevr for the number of licenses you have entered on the server. If its not SBS, stop and disable the licensing service.
SMB = server message block and is the method clients connect to the server for file and print services.

I just started to get the same message and I don't know what this product is... I have never installed Small Business Server??

Hi:

Here's an article to help give you an inkling of what SMBServer does.

How many CALS are installed on your WIN2K Server? How many client computers are logging in to the server? Some backup software use a CAL as does Gateway for Netware.
