Pretty sure the NICS are all at a 1gbps but will confirm, the test box is actually only on a meg switch as it's in our demo rack but I'd be hoping to see better than meg transfer speeds!

That tool looks handy, I'll get that downloaded and put up some better results! Thanks for your reply. Oh, definitely a problem here! New R2 server with updated NIC drivers but using Intel NIC, this was my test box on meg switch - this one actually doesn't seem that bad now looking at it!

B is by far the worst, this is the one we noticed the problem on originally. Identical spec to A. I've already run Update Express on them to bring hardware and drivers up to date but will work on the for now as it's not yet in production and uses the same Broadcom NIC chipset.

This is a shot in the dark, but did you check those file transfer speeds directly on the servers, bypassing the network? I actually have an X at home and it is fast as anything. With "Mbps" we are talking about bits, right? I haven't done yet actually, that's worth trying for sure Yeah those 's are great servers, I've got loads of them on site and even these units themselves are fast as you like, they respond to application requests quickly, logins to the console etc.

The cores aren't being hammered. Going to check firmware on this too just in case but I'd have HOPED updatexpress would have sorted all this when the server was built a couple of weeks ago Yes both running on the same switch but possibly different card slot , just noticed rookie mistake, thanks for reminding me to check!

The test box running on meg though and this is out performing both of these. Will check why this is not running at a gig right now though After you upgrade a computer to Windows 10, version , you access a network share that contains thousands of files and folders, and you open a document that is located on that share. During both of these operations, you experience significant delays. The default is 10 seconds. This setting controls the length of time in seconds that the redirector will hold on to cached data for a file after the last handle to the file is closed by an application.

The default is 0. By default, the SMB redirector throttles throughput across high-latency network connections, in some cases to avoid network-related timeouts. Setting this registry value to 1 disables this throttling, enabling higher file transfer throughput over high-latency network connections. The default is 0 for Windows 8 only. In Windows 8, the SMB redirector transfers payloads as large as 1 MB per request, which can improve file transfer speed. Setting this registry value to 1 limits the request size to 64 KB.

You should evaluate the impact of this setting before applying it. The default is 0, disabling SMB Signing. SMB signing can increase CPU cost and network round trips, but helps block man-in-the-middle attacks.

If SMB signing is not required, ensure that this registry value is 0 on all clients and servers. The default is 64, with a valid range of 1 to This value is used to determine the amount of file metadata that can be cached by the client. What if A and B are same site? Different sites? Ah, I was just trying to assist with the replication aspect. Wow my previous comment was overly complex!

NorthBen - see above for repadmin example. It works a treat. I use it to speed up the DNS registration of a Win2k8 geographically-dispersed failover cluster's hostname i.

Like I say, works a treat. First you force intersite replication. I say Reinstate Monica 3, 7 7 gold badges 23 23 silver badges 50 50 bronze badges. I've removed the original link to the blog because Chrome warned me that it contained malware.

Sorry for that omission. I edited my question. I was seeing replication times upwards of minutes between servers at the same site during my testing today.

I will try forcing replication as suggested by HopelessN00b to see if that helps. Is inter-site still a minimum of 15 mins on 2k8? Intersite and Intrasite replication are two different things. Intersite replication occurs every minutes. Intrasite change notification occurs within 15 seconds and periodic replication regardless of notification occurs every 15 minutes.
