Hi All,

When I try to open any of my MMC for my admin tools I'm getting a Microsfot Management Window with "disk is full" message in it.

I'm able to check the event logs from another computer by choosing the connect to another computer in the computer management mmc.

I'm using sql 2000 on a windows 2000 server. Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be ?
 
Did you check your free space on your disks? Sounds like you may be full on one of them...

Sorry,
I should had mentioned that all of my drives have atleast 400 MB free space.
I'm also getting 2 reoccuring errors in my application log
source ESENT event ID 439 (Database recovery/restore failed with unexpected error ) and event ID 434 (Unable to write a shadowed header for file )
 
Could be a SQL agent trying to run a job but it cant. See what jobs are scheduled to run through SQL Enterprise manager
 
Looking at your event id's found these thought on the matter.

Event 439:

"I have found this to be due to a disk space issue on the system partition. There was not enough free space on the system partition for ESENT, which needed about 200MB to write a “tmp.edb” file."

"In my case, this problem appeared when someone had removed the System group from the permissions on drive “C:”. When I put the group back with Full Control rights on all the local hard drives, the problem went away."

"I used the same resolution as described in Q278316 at support.microsoft.com for Event ID''s 454, 412 ESENT Logging/Recovery. Event ID 439 relates to a corrupt security database file which can be rebuilt using the Security Configuration and Analysis snap-in in MMC."

Must say though 400Mb on a system partition doesn't leave much headroom. Any crap you can get rid of??
