Oaktech Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 We've been successfully using DA for about 5 years, but it's been a very limited number of clients - 4 to be precise. I've rolled it out to a larger group, about 30 total clients now and I've been having reports of it being unusably slow at peak times - which appears to be about 8pm. I've checked in with server via RDS and seen a peak of about 8 clients connected in at the same time. Everything looks normal, there is a sustained network throughput of about 4mbps, it's using about 4GB of its available 16gb ram, disk and CPU activity are negligible. Links between switches are sitting around 2-5% utilised. The Internet connection seems to sit around 12-20/100mbps up and about 5-10/100mbps down so nothing looks stressed. Anyone got a clue?
ReadTheNetwork Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Not sure if you resolved this, are they connecting internally? If so they shouldn't be connected into the Direct Access server but directly to your internal network. Could you try running the command netsh dn sh st This should tell you if the laptop thinks if its internal or external.
Oaktech Posted March 13, 2018 Author Posted March 13, 2018 Despite there being no indications of stress on the DA server, it would appear that forcing all browsing traffic through the DA server causes it to all slow to a crawl if more than 2/3 users are connected. I've changed policy to not force browsing through DA and it seems to alleviated the issue. Also, the users laptops are definitely location aware OK.
