When you are running Project Insight with files stored on a remote server, if you have a large number of files in Project Insight, you may receive an error message in the Application Event Viewer.
"The network BIOS command limit has been reached" under the Task category "File Monitoring"
By default IIS7 treats each folder underneath the root as part of the ASP.NET application. By default, ASP.NET monitors each folder for changes to the directory to determine if a recompile is necessary. When you have a large number of files stored on the remote server, that creates many sub folders, which IIS 7 attempts to monitor. The monitor function uses SMB protocols and the server could exceed the limits of SMB communication.
To solve the problem, add a new Application Pool named "No Managed Code" and select "No Managed Code" for the .NET Framework Version.
Then change the "Sites" directory in Project Insight (the virtual directory pointing to where the Sites/Files location on the remote server) to an "Application." To do this, right mouse click on the virtual directory and select "Add Application." Then select the "Select" button next to the "Application Pool" and choose "No Managed Code."
Performing these steps should resolve the problem because IIS will no longer monitor the folders below the "Sites" application since it no longer executes ASP.NET managed code.
