We have:

But an error occurs and the job aborts:

2008-10-10 04:00:00 : Checking source \\?\UNC\Fa-s01\FAS01-Dados\ ...
2008-10-10 04:02:18 : [ERROR] \\?\UNC\Fa-s01\FAS01-Dados\arq_morto\Arquivo Morto\1708 BANESPA - NASBE Verif. Viga : The handle is invalid.

Any Ideas ? We are thinking that VV or VVscheduler is not compatible with x64 server !

Help us, please !

Thanks in advance.

But, the profile runs fine directly from viceversa ! The erros occurs only on scheduled mode from vvengine and vvscheduler ! This drive me crazy !

Please try setting the Process Priority to "Above Normal" , in ViceVersa PRO, under profile settings -> performance/bandwidth.

Is ViceVersa PRO set to run under which account in VVEngine / VVScheduler ?

Does the error message always happen with the same folder \\?\UNC\Fa-s01\FAS01-Dados\arq_morto\Arquivo Morto\1708 BANESPA - NASBE Verif. Viga ?

thank you

They run under administrator account.
And, no, the error message does not happen with the same folder or file.
I´ll try the sugested setting later and I´ll post results, ok?

Thanks

See http://www.tgrmn.com/web/forum/viewtopict1764.htm
Could it be an issue with spaces in folder names on this VPN?
thanks

First: we dont´t have setup vpn.
Second: all of our folders names have spaces, and the error show up in diferents folders randomly.
I became thinking that the bug occurs because both source and destination are windows Server (standard 2003 x64 in this case). In other installation at the same lan, where sources are many windows xp and the destination is windows server 2003 x64, the profiles works fine ! with many folders names with spaces !

OK, let's try something else! Smile

Can you try removing the prefix \\?\, temporarily? Maybe that's the problem on this installation. thanks

We already tried this. But in this case the error was about the lenght of the path.

TGRMN Software · Site Admin Joined: 10 Jan 2005 Posts: 8759

Do you ever get the error message "the handle is invalid" without \\?\ ? thanks

Hy mky2000 and Sysadmin.
I habe exactly the same problem as mky2000
All works fine till 1 week ago. From this point, a receive allways the error "The handle is invalid" during sync of a specific folder.
I Tried to rename, to take away files, with and wihout \\?\UNC etc... The error commes always, but on different places.
I hoped that with the last software update, i can resolve the problem, but no changes.
It works only if i exclude this complete folder.
Please help me/us to resolve this problem
