File access from the File Server is extremely slow, even to open a file of 22 KB it took full 1 minute,
but the same file accessed from the Domain Controller opens with a quick response time.
File Server - Windows 2003 R2 Standard Edition
Domain Controller - Windows 2003 Standard Edition
Client - Windows 7 Enterprise
We even tried with a bare-bones installation from a CD, no Antivirus or anything installed, it was still hopelessly slow :-(
It is slow even for .TXT files, so it has nothing to do with any particular software also.
No such issues are faced when the files are accessed from a Windows XP client.
Did anyone else also face such an issue?
Is there a way to fine tune the performance?
