Guest Guy Thomas Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Database (Proprietary) Windows Server 2003 Standard SP2 DC Windows XP Pro (on domain) SP2 The Problem Slow access to network drive via specific application -network browsing is fast The software runs off a network drive to the server. The server is a file server and DC, DNS, Etc. Only server - Small office 10 PC's The server has sufficient speed and when software is used on server it works fast. N.B. If I move the database to a workstation and share it there access is fast. If I bring the database to my office and put it on a server (slower than the clients) access if FAST. Server is CLEAN - Database is not SQL - just a proprietary little database. All machines are on a domain connected to the server. All users have LOCAL admin rights and domain USER rights. (but FULL permission within the SHARED FOLDER) The only difference I notice is when access the share on a workstation (works fast) and permissions say (workstation name)USERS But when I access the network it always says (domain) USERS Now to me this is correct but I thought I would mention it. Gut feeling: Somewhere in the software it is programmed different and switches to a UNC \\server\yadayada or tries to access the network drive and has to login or something that stalls the process. It must be something that is specific to a server (domain) share that a workstation share does not do? HELP!

Hi - as you've posted this as a new message (not a reply to an existing one) and haven't quoted the original text, it's unlikely that anyone will know to whom you refer or what you mean. Try posting a new message with your question, providing lots of background detail, and perhaps someone can help you.
