Hi Andy! Thank you very much for your reply! I checked the times when the clients encountered the "Server detected system error" and I saw that the server reports a internal server error each time. I checked all ANS1301E messages during the last backup window and I found something strange. They are all preceded by a ANR0482W, but the session number differs:
21-01-2004 03:00:43 ANR0482W Session 945465 for node AF05120 (WinNT) terminated - idle for more than 60 minutes. 21-01-2004 03:00:44 ANR0530W Transaction failed for session 945957 for node AF05120 (WinNT) - internal server error detected. So it looks like the session which is canceled by the server causes another session to fail. This should not happen, should it?

I have several Windows clients (a mix of NT, 2K and 2003) which produce vague errors every now and then. I see errors like "ANS1301E Server detected system error", "Sending of object 'C:' failed" and "ANS1931E An error saving one or more eventlogs." Just one line every time, no further explanation given... These messages are seen randomly on most 5.1.6 Windows clients, but the same machine runs fine the next day. So tracing isn't an option. I'm a little bit stuck here...
