Hello all,
I am running windows server 2012 as dc with 2 clients connected both running win7 pro.
This is a new setup (both server and clients) about 2 months old. First we used it to share word and excel files, which open really fast like you would expect but now that we've settled in the office we want to run applications and share larger files, this is when we noticed the problems.
Whenever i try to open a large file from the client (for example 100MB .exe file takes +- 10minutes to show an opening dialog) or an application from the client it takes forever to startup or to load.
The performance monitor indicates a maximum workload of 15% at all times.
I have tried all the following potential solutions i found, however none of them seem to do the trick.
- enable write cache = http://social.technet.microsoft.com/...m=winservergen
- change group policy = Langzame netwerkprestaties bij het openen van een bestand zich in een gedeelde map op een externe computer bevindt
- change group policy as = http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/bcb4b580-50ef-4f10-bc9b-16db1bf24804/slow-network-file-execution-on-windows-server-2012?forum=winserverfiles
- changed network adapter offload values both server and client
- tried using another switch and cables
- disabled firewall & antivirus
- checked disk & memtested
- updated all drivers & windows updates to date
I'm really out of ideas and almost wanting to give up on this
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
With kind regards
