Revit project gives error message when syncing

[Sahay_R]

Yesterday the MEP model gave this error message at the time of syncing - 

This even happened when the attempts to sync were less than 20 minutes apart.

Looking at the file in the Revit Server Administrator showed that in addition to talking to the regular server, the file was also talking to a defunct server that has been turned off. The 'bad' server is highlighted in the screenshot.

Current situation - 

1) yesterday attempts to replaced the project with a detached copy were fruitless - Revit gave me the Project Not Saved message

2) this morning the project is working flawlessly

Here is my question - is this some kind of setting that needs to be modified so that this project talks to the correct server all the time? My concern is that even though the project has gotten over its temper tantrum and is doing whatever it should do, Murphy's Law says that it will throw another tantrum when we are facing a deadline. 

I have attached journal files from yesterday.

Do your users sometimes leave Revit open for long periods ( or even at night without saving/closing) ?

I've seen locals become incompatible many times because of this.

Diligent STC by each user at periods of 1/2 hr to 1 hr are a good rule of thumb.

Hi @Sahay_R

I've opened a report on your issue. I'll be in touch.

Thanks for sharing the journal files. We will also need the Revit file.

Thank you, @Viveka_CD, @cbcarch Some of the machines that were on this project were talking to the wrong accelerator - a defunct server. Once they were guided to talk to the right server, the model seemed to work correctly.
