macintosh >> 2003 Server SLOW Mac file share rebuild times

by UmljaA » Mon, 09 Feb 2009 01:20:01 GMT

I have two Macintosh file shares on a Windows 2003 server, each about 300GB
of PDFs and other miscellaneous graphics files. I restarted my server 3
hours ago and it still hasn't rebuilt either of the shares. Any tips or
tweaks i can do to speed this up? The server is only a couple years old, and
looking in task manager it isn't doing much of anything.

4. Windows Server 2003 - Mac file share speed on Gigabit

Hello,

We have a nice Dell Poweredge server running Windows 2003 Small
Business Server on a gigabit ethernet network. Transfer speeds from
Windows XP machines to the server are fantastic, however Macintosh
clients (at this point running 9.2) are disappointingly slow. Some of
the G4 macs are Fast Ethernet, but are still much slower than the PC's
running on Fast Ethernet.

I've evaluated some other alternatives including ExtremeZIP,
MacServerIP, PC MacLan, and DAVE and my preliminary conclusion is that
PCMacLan has the speed advantage. My question becomes will I get
better performance when the Mac machines are ported to OSX using SMB,
or will I still need a third party. Is there anyway to get the Macs to
have a least performance on par with the XP machines running on a W2k3
server?

cheers

6. Accessing Shared files on a Win 2003 Server

Could somebody explain this message to me:

You cannot copy "file" onto the shared disk "Share", because the disk
is locked.

I am fairly certain my permissions on the 2003 machine are adequate, as
I have logged on as "administrator"! I am able to view the contents of
the share drive and even copy files from it...but when I try to copy a
file TO the share drive I get the message above. What am I doing wrong?
I need to be able to backup files on the network Array's or I will have
problems.

Please advise.

7. Windows 2003 Services for Macintosh SLOW rebuild times

8. Slow access to shares on a Windows Server 2003 file server

I built a Windows Server 2003 from scratch. Actually I built two, on 
different locations, but both with the same problem.
When I built them we were still on a NT4 domain, now we are in an AD domain. 
This did not affect the problem.

What the problem is:
When users try to access any share on the server it takes ages for a file to 
open or even to browse the directory. I could not find anything in the 
system/security/application logs. By chance I found out, that if I logon to 
the server using an administrative account the problem disappears. When I log 
off it comes back. So I have to leave the server locked instead of logged off.
But I consider this only to be a workaround !
The problem first occured after we upgraded our Virusscanners from eTrust 6 
to 7. On other server I have which are still on Windows 2000 I don't have 
issues like this.

Details:
Windows Server 2003 with SP1 and all current MS patches.
Virusscanner is CA eTrust 7.1.501 on server and clients.

I found an KB article which told me to search for an otman4.sys or 
otman5.sys, but both are not on the system.
