Just recently we've noticed that our SAM server is having issues polling our small environment. We've noticed this just starting around a week ago.
Nothing has really changed on our servers (either on the O/S or the SAM).
Error Message:
TCP/IP failed to establish an outgoing connection because the selected local endpoint was recently used to connect to the same remote endpoint. This error typically occurs when outgoing connections are opened and closed at a high rate, causing all available local ports to be used and forcing TCP/IP to reuse a local port for an outgoing connection. To minimize the risk of data corruption, the TCP/IP standard requires a minimum time period to elapse between successive connections from a given local endpoint to a given remote endpoint.
This starts in the middle of the night, and continues repeatedly until the server becomes unresponsive and a reboot is required. Our polling is still set to the template defaults:
- Node: 10 minutes
- IIS: 5 minutes
- SQL: 5 minutes.
We are only managing 2 DB servers, 2 IIS servers, and two SharePoint servers (nothing too crazy) .
Any ideas or suggestions? One of our admins found this and changed the registry accordingly, but would love verification over why this became a problem now (it has been working fine for a while).
