Network Performance degradationI have a Windows network with 15 users running on a Domain using SBS2003.
The network gradually slows down during the day and users sometime have issues of waiting up to 1-2 mins to collect and open a file from the server. The server itself is setup to do all it¹s AV scans, updates, backup¹s and so on at night instead of the day. All machines are XP pro and good spec (min 500mB ram¹s and good processors) and the server is a 3.5GHz machine with 500mB ram too. It has not yet been upgraded to SP1 for Servers. Anyone any idea why the network speed starts dropping during the day?? Cheers Steve B On Thu, 07 Dec 2006 20:21:09 +0000, Steve Bragg <st***@productcreations.com>

Anything going on, in particular, on any one of the clients? What network hardware do you have? <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/background-information-useful-in.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/background-information-useful-in.html Maybe install Process Explorer (free Microsoft tool) on the clients and server, and set it running on each simultaneously. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/04/watching-what-your-computer-is-doing.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/04/watching-what-your-computer-is-doing.html <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/09/process-explorer.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/09/process-explorer.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
