41873 Trust accounting reconciliation fails halfway

What your tech opens today
Running the monthly trust reconciliation and it throws 'Database connection lost (error 1105)' about halfway through. It happened twice. The partner needs the reconciliation signed off by Friday for the regulator so this is urgent. Nothing else on the system seems to be affected. Please call name on phone if you need anything.
Next actions on the ticket

Check the database service and SQL error logs on the server for what happened at the time of the error 1105.

  1. Check free disk space on the drive holding the database and its log files, as error 1105 relates to full filegroups.
  2. Check the SQL Server error log and the application server connection for timeouts or drops.
  3. Check there are no backup or maintenance jobs running that overlap with the reconciliation time.
  4. Free up space or extend the volume, and do not delete any data without confirming with the user first.

Shared mailbox not showing in Outlook

2 tickets. Shared mailbox requests recur and the manual add fixes it in minutes, so a guide stops repeat questions and handovers.

Applies to
  • Outlook desktop on Windows with Microsoft 365
  • Shared mailboxes the user has been given access to
Symptoms
  • The shared mailbox does not appear in Outlook.
  • Webmail shows it fine.
  • Restarting Outlook and the laptop changes nothing.
Cause
  • Auto-mapping was disabled on the mailbox permission. This was found in one ticket.
  • The other ticket had the same symptoms, so this is most likely the cause there too.
Fix
  1. Confirm the user has Full Access on the shared mailbox in the Microsoft 365 admin centre.
  2. Ask the user to close Outlook.
  3. Open Outlook again and go to File, then Account Settings, then Account Settings.
  4. On the Email tab, select the user's account and choose Change.
  5. Choose More Settings, then the Advanced tab.
  6. Under Open these additional mailboxes, choose Add.
  7. Type the shared mailbox name and select OK.
  8. Select Apply, then OK, then Next and Finish.
  9. Reopen Outlook and wait a few minutes for folders to load.
How to check it worked
  • The shared mailbox shows in the folder pane.
  • The user can open the inbox and see mail.
  • The user can send as the shared mailbox if that was requested.
If it does not work
  • Check the permission again, including Send As if needed.
  • Allow time for the permission to reach Outlook.
  • Test in webmail to rule out a permission problem.
  • Escalate to a senior technician if it still does not appear.
Risk level

Low: this adds a mailbox view in the user's profile and does not change or delete data.

Email bounces with 'Message too large' for photos

1 tickets. Large attachments are a common cause of bounces, and a share-link guide removes the need to call.

  • Symptoms: 'Message too large' bounce when sending many photos
  • Cause: attachments exceed the email size limit
  • Fix: upload to OneDrive and send a link
  • How to check it worked: recipient opens the link and sees all photos
  • Risk: check the link permissions before sending

VPN says 'Connection timed out' from home

1 tickets. Remote workers hit this often, and switching to an SSL VPN profile on port 443 can fix it fast.

  • Symptoms: VPN times out while home internet works
  • Cause: home router blocks IKE traffic, such as double NAT
  • Fix: switch the client to the SSL VPN profile on port 443
  • How to check it worked: VPN connects and file server opens
  • If it does not work: test another network, escalate
