SBS 2011 - Slow printing and Shared file access

$
0
0

I've recently migrated from SBS 2003 to SBS 2011 and having problems the below issues:-

  • All users on the Network experiencing slow access to shared drive for Microsoft products ie. Excel spreadsheets, Word documents
  • Seems slower on the Windows7 machine than XP (Slow = 45-60 sec to open small word doc)
  • Opening PDF's is ok, but saving is slow
  • Printing was slow but since I've installed a universal driver PCL 6 driver on the server it's as it should be. This is fine as long as you don't edit the document the from print> landscape> colour > BW etc
  • MYOB working ok but converting to PDF is an issue

Steps We took:-

      • Migrated from Server SBS 2003 to 2011 using Microsoft Migration Handbook using (http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=14570)
      • Had a heap of errors with roles and permissions of roles downloaded and installed 1.5GB of updates and hotfixes, demoted the original DC and took it off the Domain which fixed a lot of our errors.
      • Installed SP1
      • done this (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951037)
      • and this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2493361
      • Tweaked Bullgaurd AV on Server and all machines (tried disabling also).
      • Checked over Group Policy settings
      • Disabled IPv6 in registry and across all client machines
      • Turned off Dual NIC's as apparently SBS2011 doesnt like it
      • Switched all Exchange related services to manual as not required using a hosted solution
      • Stopped File Server Storage Reports Service
    • Stopped Routing and Remote Access

    Possible Solutions?:-

    • I think this may resolve issue .....http://www.petri.co.il/how-to-disable-smb-2-on-windows-vista-or-server-2008.htm
