Nick Don't know if this is any help or even relevant to your exact problem, but check it out: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;319470 Phil Hillary Technical Support London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority Tel: 0207 587 4019 EMail: phil.hillary@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _____ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 12 November 2004 14:00 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Probably OT : Slow File save in W2k3 TS I have a Dell 2450, single processor, 1 GB RAM, servicing about 15 users as native (Non-Citrix) TS, running Office 2003 (mainly) , and a few Sage users. Uses Roaming Profiles if that may be relevant. Issue: Saving files (Word, Excel) is slow. Not catastrophically so, but slow; about 5 seconds for a 2-sheet word document, 10 seconds for a 'similar' spreadsheet. Of itself, that's not *too* painful, but when writing to Journals in Sage it does become very painful. Performance indicators are fine; lots of RAM, lots of Processor, hard drives fine. If I save directly to the TS Local Hard Drive, saving is instantaneous(ish). Which leads me to suspect a network/file server issue. On the file server, all is again fine in performance terms. This is a Dell 2450, 3*RAID 5 HDDs. It is running Exchange, DNS, and a bunch of other stuff (AV etc), but they don't seem to be taking up resource unexpectedly. Is my RAID 5 likley to be a problem? Are there redirected Temp files that may be an issue? Anyone got any good pointers to show me where to start going?
