What OS is the File Server? Is it a Domain Controller?

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?
Nick
