<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;328890> seems to have
solved it for me, in gob-smacking fashion. As a test I moved about 40 files,
15MB maybe, from the file server to TS and back again. Pre-hack it was about 8
seconds to the TS, 40 seconds to the File Server. After the hack (And a reboot)
it was, effectively, 0 seconds either way: I just couldn't measure it. I didn't
need the patcf, fortunately; just changed the registry entry to 1.

Nick,
Try these kb articles: they solved it for me:
324446 (the registry fixes only should do the trick)
265396

There is also a hotfix available if you call microsoft if this
doesn't fix your problem.

Create a test folder on the network drive, create about 100 0K
test files and test the copy performance on the network drive, is it slow?
There was an issue created by a Hotfix released for 2K3 in September, Microsoft
has a registry fix to this problem I will dig it up if you need it.
In addition try disabling the legacy NetBIOS over TCP/IP to see
if name resolution is causing an issue.

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?
Nick
