Windows 2000 server/workstation file syncronize problems

[Andyfitz]

Hi all,

I have setup my windows 2000 domain again, setup all the 250 users and setup 250 shares which took ages!!

I then installed a client or to, added them to the domain, all fine, untill file syncronization.

I use folder redirection to copy the users "my documents" folder to "\\server\%username%"

This worked fine on the old domain, now when trying to work in windows when you open a file or save one it hangs the entire computer for about 5 mins.

Can anyone shed any light on what may be my problem here?

I have a feeling it may be DNS related as im using a domain name different to the last server, so I am setting up another box with the old domain and trying that.

Thanks in advance for any help! this ones really got me stuck!

Have you gotten a network trace to see what's happening while you wait? Also, as a test, have you disabled A/V software on the server and the client?

If folder redirection works (and you don't get redir errors in the event logs), DNS isn't usually the culprit here.

Yep, I forgot all about the antivirus software, turning that to scan incoming files only solved my problem.
