STATUS_REDIRECTOR_PAUSED
STATUS_REDIRECTOR_PAUSED identifies a local client-side subsystem state. The remote server may be healthy and the UNC path may be correct, but the redirector that turns local file or print operations into remote requests is paused.
How to narrow it down
Diagnose this from the client outward. Record the local workstation/redirector service state, service-control events and whether the same client can access any remote resource. A remote share ACL change cannot unpause the local component that must create the request.
After the redirector resumes, open a new network operation. Existing operations that were queued or interrupted while the redirector was paused should not be assumed to have completed.
Evidence that matters
- Check the local redirector or workstation service state before changing the server.
- Test a second remote resource from the same client to establish whether the condition is local.
- Recreate affected connections after the component is available again.
