Excel and Delayed write failed

[Michael]

We just moved all the operations from a File/print server to a new one and
everything is working except for a shared excel spreadsheet. the users are
reporting that they get "Delayed write failed" when trying to write to this
shared file.

I have checked all the settings and permissions and they are able to use
other files fine.

I have found some notes on the web about auto neg between the nics and the
switch port. the old server were HP NICS and now they are Built in Broadcom
cards teamed together.

Any thoughts? thanks

Michael,

Break the team to see if it fixes the issue. If they are properly team, the
risk you incur is of nic failure. since you'll be watching it closely, the
risk is mitigated. This is the first step in troubleshooting this.
