lol yes it is on a Gig backbone, connected to a Gig port directly to our 6500 Core. Also, users don't use offline files at all, so I don't see how the synchronization would be an issue. Hardware all seems fine. I ran the Dell diagnostics which took a few hours over the weekend and it reported no problems with anything. All firmware is current. I mean I know this is a very broad question and it could be a number of things between the client and the server. I'd like to rule out the server being F'd up considering we just got it set up about 3 months ago. Working for a state agency it was a huge headache getting the powers that be to let us finally move the files over from the old file server. What about the Data Execution Prevention? Right now it is on for everything across the board. Should this be taken off? I really don't see the possibility of that thing getting any virus of the type DEP would help prevent.

also, how do i know if i have the latest ntfs.sys and storport.sys? here are my boot.ini settings [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003, Enterprise" /noexecute=optout /fastdetect

It's a Dell PowerEdge 6800 with (2) PROCESSOR, 80546, 3.0G, 8MB, XEON POTOMAC, 667, C0 so it's 64 bit hardware, but running the 32 bit version of windows 2003 R2. Would that be an issue running the 32 bit version of the 2003 R2 Enterprise vs. the 64 bit? My understanding is that Enterprise version supports I think up to 64GB of memory? If so, can we just get the 64 bit and don in in place upgrade or something?

Hi everyone..first post here. We have new Dell server with 1.6 TB disk space, and 16 gigs of ram in it. Recently things seem to have slowed down quite a bit regarding performance on the box. We just migrated everything from our old file server to that one about 3 months ago. Can anyone give me some tips on how i can optimize the performance of it for better use as a file server? I noticed myself a lot of times when working with files I have saved on my home drive, it fails to save it back to the network. Other users are complaining of increasingly slow performance as well Any help would be appreciated. Side note, we have two volumes, a C which is the system and D which is all of our data. Page file on system drive only with Windows default settings. I've been looking at the perfmon but I don't think it's really telling me anything. Kris
