November 23, 200421 yr I was wondering what people are doing with WinPE to open up the network performance?My network connection speed sucks We use DHCP and i believe QoS is throttleing me down. Any sugestions?R
November 23, 200421 yr I usualy get about 80% NIC utilization when i bring down an image using Win PE 2004 and thats on a 10/100. On a 10/100/1000 server taking an image of it i usualy get about 60-70% and the drives on the image server are usualy tapped out for resources. The only difference is we dont use QoS but even if we did WinPE as far as i know does not have QoS built in.
November 23, 200421 yr More likely your NIC is running at half duplex when it could run faster. You may want to take a look at the INF file in WinPE for your NIC and see what the defaults are. You can force it faster by tweaking the inf - though you will break the digital signature...
November 23, 200421 yr Author Checking the driver, it is setup to go Auto by default and QoS is turned off.Anybody else have something to try?R
November 23, 200421 yr Checking the driver, it is setup to go Auto by default and QoS is turned off.Anybody else have something to try?RHow is your network set up? You may need to talk to your network group to find this out.Auto in my environment will kill performance because the switches are hard coded to 100 Full. I have to physically set the adapter to 100 Full.Images that take 8 minutes to deploy at 100 full will take 30 or more at Auto.Chris
