Windows Server 2003 as file server slow?
I have setup the following: Server - Windows 2003 server standard edition, 2GB Ram, 1000BT network card PC - Windows XP, 1GB Ram, 1000BT network card Notebook - WIndows XP, 768MB Ram, 100BT network (build in) All three are connected to an 8 port gigabit switch which is connected to a Broadband Router/FW device which connects to an ADSL modem to connect to the internet. * All three computers have setup network shares. * user on the Server initiates file copy to PC shared drive: very fast * user on the Server initiates file copy from PC shared drive: very fast * user on PC initiates file copy to server shared drive: slow * user on PC initiates file copy from server shared drive: very fast * user on notebook initiates file copy to server shared drive: slow * user on notebook initiates file copy from server shared drive: very fast * user on notebook initiates file copy to PC shared drive: very fast * user on notebook initiates file copy from PC shared drive: very fast During the tests, I observed the CPU usage of all three machines to be rather low (less than 20) and network usage also very low. It seems that when copying files to the server shared drive, it is slow but I can't figure out why? It is REALLY slow when there are a lot of small files (e.g. 300 files of around 100kb). The same set of files takes less than a minute to copy from the server can take 20 times longer to copy back to the server. Why so slow in this direction? I tried turning off anti-virus software on the server but still the speed is slow..... Copy a few large files (like 50MB) is not so bad but still not lightning fast... Browsing the Server shared drive directory is also quite slow.

Migrating applications from Windows NT/SQL Server 7.0 to Windows 2003/SQL Server 2000
Hi, I've got a bunch of VB6 applications which currently run on a Windows NT/SQL Server 7.0 server config with client machines on Windows 2000. I'm planning to replace the servers with Windows 2003/SQL Server 2000 configs, keeping client machines on Windows 2000 for now. So generally speaking, are there many programming or configuration changes I'll need to make to the applications so that they'll run on the new configuration? What issues can I expect etc? I'm just after general issues any of you may have experienced by migrating from NT to 2003, and also from SQL Server...
Windows 2003 server enterprise Vs Pervasive.Sql v9 for Nt server
If I use a server with 8 Gb of Ram with Os win 2003 server enterprise. Does it BeakThrough the windows limitation of 2 Gb ram for a users process for the cache memory. No. However, if you disable the L2 cache, kick the L1 cache up to a high value (such as 800MB), and enable the System Cache, you'll have better PSQL performance, since the OS will cache file data in the other 6GB of memory.

slow printing over network
Hello all. After installing a new Windows 2003 Terminal Server w/MS Office 2003, we've noticed slow printing across the company network. The error message MS Word 2003 gives is: Microsoft Office Word: The printer has not yet responded, but the Microsoft Office program may be able to proceed without printer information. Do you want to continue to wait for the printer? I have also noticed under "Printer and Faxes" the status of several LAN printers change to: Status: Printer not found on server, unable to connect. There are approx 30 network printers in...

Windows 2003 server and XP Pro slow network browsing
Hi, I have two Windows XP Pro system networked through a Netgear FVS318 router to a Windows 2003 Server. The XP Pro systems see and browse each other ok but can take up to 5 mins to open a shared drive or directory on the 2003 Server. I have reloaded the Server several times and reloaded one XP Pro system. The network is peer to peer and it still happens when in a domain setup. I think this started after doing a clean upgrade from RC2 of 2003 Server. I never had a DNS server setup when running RC2 Server but setup DNS hopping it may fix my problem. I hope someone may have had this ...

NT PDC file server -> Samba PDC file server
I've read the HOWTO and seen a zillion articles about moving from an NT PDC to a Samba PDC. Am having trouble tying this in to making the new Samba PDC act in the same file server capacity as the NT machine did. i.e., looking for info on copying the directories & files while preserving user & group permissions. Can someone point me to a guide(s) on this whole process? Also, in what order does this occur? As I understand it once the Samba machine becomes the PDC, you must immediately shut down the NT PDC. So how do you copy the shares & directories over with corre...
application server on windows server 2003
Hi I am developing a client server application a small component of which should open a terminal window with an application (say AutoCAD) running on it on the server.

filemaker server on windows 2003 server
Hello, I just upgraded my server from a NT4 server to a windows 2003 server with new hardware (currently running 2 times Xeon 2.8, 2 GB RAM, 4 X 10K rpm 74GB in raid 5 configuration). Everything works fine (no speed problems, using 1Gbit switch) only filemaker is extremely slow. I configured filemaker server 5.5 to use 40MB (maximum). If the clients want to open a lot of files simutaniously (I'm using a lot of portals) or want to print huge lists, filemaker is extremely slowly. I checked the cpu usage and network usage, but it peaks at 0.7 %, so I don't think the cpu is the pro...
