003306: The operation returned because the server timeout period was exceeded.

Description

The operation could not be completed because it took longer than the current time-out setting for the service. Server time-outs are configured on a service to protect services from being used for larger volumes of work than the administrator intended.

Solution

Increase the server time-out setting and attempt the operation again.

Some operations can be run asynchronously. Asynchronous processes use separate services that can be configured with a longer time-out setting. If available, run the operation asynchronously. Review the tool help for more information.
