Hi all,
Here is a head scratcher…
Client was on SBS2003 running a domain network with lots of shared folders on the server. I recently moved everything and everyone to Win Server 2003, moved all the users, data etc to the new machine.
All is working well except that some MS Word files that are residing on the shared network drives take 5-6 minutes to open.
I have looked at permissions,etc and nothing looks out of the ordinary.
And here is even stranger stuff. I just added a new PC to the network and before I added it to the domain, I attempted to access one of the slow files and ta-da! it worked normally. However, when I added the PC to the domain, it had the same problem as the others.
HUH ?!?
I turned off all policies, copied the file locally, put it on a USB memory stick…nothing seems to work. The only computer able to access these files (a bunch of random ones) are ones not connected to the domain.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Nate
