Guest Daniel Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Hi, we just installed a file server (and print server) with good hardware configurations. However, users experience very poor performance when reading files from folders in that server. Curiously, uploading a file works fine, the problem is when we try to open it. Any tip to start looking for a solution? Regards. Daniel
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Re: Slow file access from Windows Server 2003 R2 Hello Daniel, Check that you have the latest NIC drivers installed. Do you have installed SP2 and all patches from MS? Maybe there is a conflict netween the NIC from the server and your switch. Sometimes it is better to use fixed speed and duplex settings, or your switch needs additional configuration. Also check the taskmanager when you try to open a file. Maybe your AntiVirus is blocking during the scan of the file. Or some other services are using high CPU during the opening.
