Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
We've also been experiencing this and was observed at multiple sites, hammering our broadcast policers.
The key have been applied to a couple of test machines and has had the desired affect for us once the machine was rebooted.
This is only a work around so I've raised it with premier support. This is not a workable product in it's current form and either needs to be officially rolled back or replaced.
Martin, Do you know if there will eventually be a fix for this?
I have identified that printing from a browser does initiate this storm but so far have found no way to stop other than creating a Firewall rule on the local PC.
I have also identified that once initiated dashost.exe tries to broadcast storm over to UDP to 3289, 10004 and 22222.
Is there any way to put in a ticket with Microsoft regarding this or at least get their attention?
What is this even suppose to be doing other than flooding networks with non-sense broadcast traffic?
I tried the registry key entry outlined below but it did not have any effect.
Did anyone find a solution to this that did not disrupt the end user client workstation functionality?
You might need to run "Task Manager" as administrator in order to get to the Resource Manager. In the search bar in the Taskbar, type "Task Manager", then right click and run as administrator.
Go to the Performance tab and click on Open Resource Monitor at the bottom.
I don't see Open Resource Monitor, it's just a graph. I want to know why I have this file, and why it's running. I cannot check it with any security software because it is open.
