I am currently having an issue will access to a large file server that is in my Windows 2000 Active Directory. The file server in question has Win2k SP3 and about 300 users accessing 260 GB of files. All of the users have their home directories and profile folders on this server as well. Many users are complaining that access to files on this server is slow. Is there anything that I can do to speed up access to the files?
Also, after capturing a Sniffer trace, I find that before every request to a network share the workstations try a SAM logon request to every DC in the domain. Even the DC’s that are not in the site.
Thanks in advance.
