Many times we see this error reported by customers when trying to use one of our programs to update a remote machine.
It has taken us a while to find the source of the error, but it seems that it is an issue with 3rd party applications

A registry change needs to be made to accommodate bad behaving programs. It all comes down to a registry key named IRPStackSize.
In Windows 2000 and in Windows Server 2003, the default value of the IRPStackSize parameter is 15. The range is from 11 (0xb hexadecimal) through 32 (0×20 hexadecimal).
If the subkey is not present, you can use Registry Editor to add the subkey. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
3. Click Edit, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
4. Type IRPStackSize, and then press ENTER to name the value.
Note Type IRPStackSize exactly as it is displayed. This is case sensitive.
5. Click Edit, and then click Modify.
6. In the Data Value box, type 30, and then click OK.
You are probably going to need a reboot for this to take effect.

It does not work for Win2003 R2.
All the time I’m getting mentioned error on my VM. Seems it started recently by unknown reasons.
Have tried different values for IRPStackSize – 15, 30, 32, 48, 50 – all without effect. :-\
