I give support to a mixed Windows 2000/2003 network. I have a problem with

preview pane and proprieties. The network is consisted by a Windows 2000

Server Domain Controller and a Windows 2003 Standard R2 member server. All

clients are XP Pro.

 

Many users use Terminal Services to the Windows 2003 Server if they have to

work outside the office from home. The problems I’m having are 2 but really

annoying:

 

1) When you right-clic a folder shared by the domain controller (Windows

2000 Server) and choose “proprieties” the dialog takes like 30 minutes to

popup. This only happens when you want to see proprieties from a network

share, but locally there’s no issue.

 

2) This is VERY important: If preview pane is enabled in the explorer

windows in the Windows 2003 member server you cannot browse network shares

that contains large files (over 1 or 2GB). If you do, maybe nothing happens,

but if you enter a folder with large files on it the “explorer.exe” process

hangs out and you need to kill it.

 

I’ve settle a policy to disable Preview Pane feature but I want to find the

right solution.

If you can help, thank you in advanced.
