    You don't have to restart the services (or in fact even cancel a job that is waiting) , just open the properties of the device and change the limit to read only operations setting back to disabled.

     

    The setting for  how long to leave a disconnected device before making it read only won't change the status against a device that is already read only (assuming this is the setting you changed when up restarted the services)

Hi guys,

What should I do?

Thanks for any help.
