Database (Proprietary)

Windows Server 2003 Standard SP2 DC

Windows XP Pro (on domain) SP2

The Problem

Slow access to network drive via specific application -network browsing is
fast

The software runs off a network drive to the server.

The server is a file server and DC, DNS, Etc. Only server - Small office 10
PC's

The server has sufficient speed and when software is used on server it works
fast.

N.B. If I move the database to a workstation and share it there access is
fast.

If I bring the database to my office and put it on a server (slower than the
clients) access if FAST.

Server is CLEAN - Database is not SQL - just a proprietary little database.

All machines are on a domain connected to the server.

All users have LOCAL admin rights and domain USER rights. (but FULL
permission within the SHARED FOLDER)

The only difference I notice is when access the share on a workstation
(works fast) and permissions say (workstation name)USERS

But when I access the network it always says (domain) USERS

Now to me this is correct but I thought I would mention it.

Gut feeling:

Somewhere in the software it is programmed different and switches to a UNC
\\server\yadayada or tries to access the network drive and has to login or
something that stalls the process. It must be something that is specific to
a server (domain) share that a workstation share does not do?



HELP!

Slow workstation

Did you ever get this resolved or get an answer on this. We have the same problem with an appliction we run. I was hoping to get some direction on how to procede.

Hi - as you've posted this as a new message (not a reply to an existing one)
and haven't quoted the original text, it's unlikely that anyone will know to
whom you refer or what you mean. Try posting a new message with your
question, providing lots of background detail, and perhaps someone can help
you.
