Hi list,

This might be a question answered before, but I couldn't find the answers I
was looking for...

I've installed a MPS3 / w2k farm last week.
Now users are complaining that the performance is exceptional slow, I think
this is due to the fact they run only mcaccess based applications..

The funny thing is that the hardware is the same as before, so are the
applications and before the upgrade to mps3 and the reinstall of w2k it
wasn't that slow and they had more users on one server (now they run two
server, single processor though).
Only major difference is that w2k has sp4 installed (needs to for mps3)

Server is up to date on windows updates, and some Citrix ones....
I'm not really sure anymore what more I could tune.....maybe anyone has any
more suggestions i haven't thought about.

Setup is:

W2k sp4 with mps3
Office2003
MSAccess XP (two heavily used apps based on access)
Acrobat 6.01

10 users per server running each 2 msaccess apps.
Client printing only for remote users in Poland and Denmark enabled.
Client drive mapping enabled for management only (2 persons)
Client printer drivers use only natives.

What I was thinking of was that some of them, maybe all, are using older
Citrix clients.....would update them resolve some of the performance issues?
Most users have a thin client, ANT or Wyse.

Hope you guys (and girls) got some suggestions....

Greetings and thanks
Rob
