Timed out sending notification error message

I have 2 BDC servers at remote locations that are generating the following
error every 2 minutes.

Event ID 257
Timed out sending notification of target device change to window of
"C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE"

I did a search on the internet, but could not find anything that would
resolve this issue. Any idea on what may be causing the problem?

 

Hello Clowntrigger,

If you use on google:
event id 257

you get roundabout 398.000 hits. What do you search for?

Best regards

I didn't think the hotfix would apply. I'm not using a Net Appliance backup
app and I haven't added any disks to the server.

 

I applied the hot fix and rebooted last night. That did resolve my issue.
Thanks.
