We have two shared directories that certain users are experiencing latency while navigating (explorer.exe does not respond for 2 or more minutes). The shared directories are located on a Windows Storage Server 2003 machine with several other shares (some even on the same partition) that have not had any latency issues. Users are connecting to the shares via an AD login script. One of the problem directories actually shows latency while logged into the server directly, not through a share. Oddly, with both problem directories, new users are the only ones who experience the latency. I have checked the directories for viruses, removed any shortcuts that were created within them, and defragged the directory. I even tried coping the dirctory thats acting up locally to another partition and the same issue is occuring. Furthermore, the RAID controller is reporting that everything is ok, so I don’t think it could be a drive failing. Any other ideas of what is going on?
