Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help me?
A while back I moved all my home folders from an old Windows 2000 Server file and print server to a new one. As the old server was also a backup server, I kept it online for backup jobs only.
Recently I replaced the backup server also. When I took the old server off line (where the home folders used to be), access to the files on the new server slowed to a snails pace (3-4 mins to open a word/excel file). If I copy one of the files to a workstation's hard drive I still get the same slow access. However, if I unplug the network cable, access to the file on the hard drive is instant.
There are no policies in place that would effect it, but it would seem that it's checking for something for ages before it'll open the file. If I turn the original server back on again (even though the files arn't on there any more), instant access is restored!
Any ideas anyone??? |
