Server 2012 R2 slow performance over all

This is a DELL PowerEdge R820 / 256GB RAM / 4TB onboard storage configured as Remote Desktop Services Host /TS... running QuickBooks, MS Office 2010 STD, Symantec EndPoint Protection (basic antivirus installation ONLY)... 1 month old server... SUPER fast,
super powerfull.... Part of an AD in SBS 2008 Premium... single NIC card 4 ports / 3 ports disabled. single IP... no VLANS... server is able to resolve ANY pc, DNS record with no problems... able to resolve DC by name, able to receive GP, able to update, able
to do everything that I can think of.... EXCEPT... anything I open, word, excel, QuickBooks, IE.... takes forever to open... after the application is open is fast but to open anything takes 3-4 minutes.... open ticket with Symantec all looks good, created
lots of exceptions for antivirus/real time scanning, open ticket with QuickBooks: files look good application was removed and reinstalled to be sure all was done correctly... check the binding order for the disabled NIC; the active one is TOP option, no errors
at all in event viewers for system, application, setup, no errors at all in DELL management tool, no hard drive errors, no controllers errors.... this server is replacing an old dell poweredge 2008 STD with 24GB RAM... the old DELL opens the same applications
way faster than the new one... same Quicken version; old server opens Quicken in seconds, new one 3-4 minutes..... Real time monitoring NEVER goes above 1% for CPU and 3% for memory utilization.... one more thing... removed antivirus 100% restart... same performance
without antivirus.....
Any ideas will be great as of how to troubleshoot the slow performance....
Thank you!

Hi,
As Sam suggested, please check if there any issue occurred in hard drive.
On current situation, please also refer to following steps and troubleshoot, then check if we can find more
clues.
Please check if you have installed all necessary updates for the Windows Server 2012 R2.
Please
perform a clean boot to check if there has software conflicts.
Please use Resource Monitor to troubleshoot and check if we can find some more details.

Windows Server 2012 very slow performance executing files

Hello,
I am running windows server 2012 as dc with 2 clients connected running win7 pro x64, this is a new setup.
Whenever i try to open a large file from the client or an application from the client it takes forever to startup or to load. The performance monitor indicates a maximum workload of 15% at all times.
I have tried all the following potential solutions i found, however none of them seem to do the trick.

Windows server 2012 standard - slow performance in file sharing

I recently installed two windows server 2012, one is for DC, one is for File Sharing; it works fine in the beginning.
Lately, it comes a problem, every once a while it is very slow when opening a file on the server from a client PC; but when i restart the file server then it will be fine again.

Hi Simon,
Based on your description, how is the workload of the file server?
Before going further, regarding slow network performance when opening a file that is located in a shared folder on a remote network computer, the following article can be
referred to as reference.

Server 2012 incredibly slow

I have a Dell Precision T7400 that I use as a backup file server installed with Windows Server 2012. I'm not expecting fast boot times with 2 RAID controllers, so that's not my issue, but the slowness lies with the behavior of the OS itself. If i'm doing
simple things like backing up files, and I try to launch Firefox while doing that, Firefox takes about 3-5 minutes just to load. I have tried IE, but that just crashes immediately upon launch, and that takes even longer to load. The server doesn't have too
many roles, so it should be this slow. The hardware I have is as follows:
1x E5420 Quad Xeon 2.5Ghz | 4GB Buffered RAM | 1x Nvidia Quadro FX1700 512MB | PERC 61 RAID controller + internal RAID controller | 500GB 7200rpm boot drive on internal, 2TB 7200rpm + 1TB 7200rpm using RAID 0 on PERC
I thought 4GB would have been enough to run a file server and its basic functions, but is this not true? What else could it be?

So when we start talking performance we have to take the entire system into account.
Under 2012 if you open perfmon, Navigate to System Performance, then click the run button
That will take awhile and you should do that while it is having performance issue.
It will create a report under the reports folder
Software that you have installed on the server also has an effect on overall performance. Things like endpoint protection and antivirus can have a big impact.
Some antivirus can become overly aggressive with the scanning of files as they are being read from or written to disk, inbound on the network card and outbound on the network card.
Raid card configuration can have an impact as well based on how the onboard raid controller cache (if any) is setup (2 settings that come to mind are the adaptive read ahead and write back)
Another thing to note about caching, some of Windows Roles and Features will disable the cache on the system partition. Active Directory, DFS, DHCP, SQL and pretty much anything that utilizes a jet database. This is a performance hit but will save your data
on a power outage.
If IE crashes on launch, that does not build confidence in the install or applications that may be running.
You can do a clean boot http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
Follow the Windows 8 instructions as that's the same for 2012.
Hopefully that helps.

Windows server 2012 R2 Slow RDP

Hi
I have server 2012 R2 Datacenter installed on HP Proliant 380 G8. All drivers and firmwares are updated and confirmed by HP. The machine is quite powerful with hundreds of gigs of RAM.
When I RDP into the machine, The screen hangs on "welcome" screen for a good 10 seconds. Same hardware with server 2012 Datacenter is much faster. It is also fast with 2008 R2.
I deployed 4 servers so far and all have the same issue.
Has any one experienced this slowness before?
I appreciate any help.
Thanks

Hi Atif,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
First of all please try to provide TP’s answer. In addition, what’s the version of client OS and RDC? If you are using Windows 7 then use RDP 8.1 for better performance. Apart from this, try to DisableTaskOffload in the IP-parameters. For more information,
kindly go through beneath article.
Performance Tuning Windows 2012: Network Subsystem–Part 1
Also try to configure below setting, might helpful for your case.
On the server:
Computer Config > Windows Settings > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Connections > Select RDP transport protocol = Use only TCP
On the client:
Computer Config > Windows Settings > Admin Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Connection Client > Turn off UDP on Client = Enabled
Hope it helps!
Thanks,

Windows Server 2012 - Hyper-V - iSCSI SAN - All Hyper-V Guests stops responding and extensive disk read/write

We have a problem with one of our deployments of Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V with a 2 node cluster connected to a iSCSI SAN.
Our setup:
Hosts - Both run Windows Server 2012 Standard and are clustered.
HP ProLiant G7, 24 GB RAM, 2 teamed NIC dedicated to Virtual Machines and Management, 2 teamed NIC dedicated to iSCSI storage. - This is the primary host and normaly all VMs run on this host.
HP ProLiant G5, 20 GB RAM, 1 NIC dedicated to Virtual Machines and Management, 2 teamed NIC dedicated to iSCSI storage. - This is the secondary host that and is intended to be used in case of failure of the primary host.
We have no antivirus on the hosts and the scheduled ShadowCopy (previous version of files) is switched of.
iSCSI SAN:
QNAP NAS TS-869 Pro, 8 INTEL SSDSA2CW160G3 160 GB i a RAID 5 with a Host Spare. 2 Teamed NIC.
Switch:
DLINK DGS-1210-16 - Both the network cards of the Hosts that are dedicated to the Storage and the Storage itself are connected to the same switch and nothing else is connected to this switch.
Virtual Machines:
3 Windows Server 2012 Standard - 1 DC, 1 FileServer, 1 Application Server.
1 Windows Server 2008 Standard Exchange Server.
All VMs are using dynamic disks (as recommended by Microsoft).
Updates
We have applied the most resent updates to the Hosts, WMs and iSCSI SAN about 3 weeks ago with no change in our problem and we continually update the setup.
Normal operation
Normally this setup works just fine and we see no real difference in speed in startup, file copy and processing speed in LoB applications of this setup compared to a single host with 2 10000 RPM Disks. Normal network speed is 10-200 Mbit, but occasionally
we see speeds up to 400 Mbit/s of combined read/write for instance during file repair
Our Problem
Our problem is that for some reason all of the VMs stops responding or responds very slowly and you can for instance not send CTRL-ALT-DEL to a VM in the Hyper-V console, or for instance start task manager when already logged in.
Symptoms (i.e. this happens, or does not happen, at the same time)
I we look at resource monitor on the host then we see that there is often an extensive read from a VHDX of one of the VMs (40-60 Mbyte/s) and a combined write speed to many files in \HarddiskVolume5\System Volume Information\{<someguid and no file extension>}.
See iamge below.
The combined network speed to the iSCSI SAN is about 500-600 Mbit/s.
When this happens it is usually during and after a VSS ShadowCopy backup, but has also happens during hours where no backup should be running (i.e. during daytime when the backup has finished hours ago according to the log files). There is however
not that extensive writes to the backup file that is created on an external hard drive and this does not seem to happen during all backups (we have manually checked a few times, but it is hard to say since this error does not seem leave any traces in event
viewer).
We cannot find any indication that the VMs themself detect any problem and we see no increase of errors (for example storage related errors) in the eventlog inside the VMs.
The QNAP uses about 50% processing Power on all cores.
We see no dropped packets on the switch.
(I have split the image to save horizontal space).
Unable to recreate the problem / find definitive trigger
We have not succeeded in recreating the problem manually by, for instance, running chkdsk or defrag in VM and Hosts, copy and remove large files to VMs, running CPU and Disk intensive operations inside a VM (for instance scan and repair a database file).
Questions
Why does all VMs stop responding and why is there such intensive Read/Writes to the iSCSI SAN?
Could it be anything in our setup that cannot handle all the read/write requests? For instance the iSCSI SAN, the hosts, etc?
What can we do about this? Should we use MultiPath IO instead of NIC teaming to the SAN, limit bandwith to the SAN, etc?

Hi,
> All VMs are using dynamic disks (as recommended by Microsoft).
If this is a testing environment, it’s okay, but if this a production environment, it’s not recommended. Fixed VHDs are recommended for production instead of dynamically expanding or differencing VHDs.
Hyper-V: Dynamic virtual hard disks are not recommended for virtual machines that run server workloads in a production environment
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee941151(v=WS.10).aspx
> This is the primary host and normaly all VMs run on this host.
According to your posting, we know that you have Cluster Shared Volumes in the Hyper-V cluster, but why not distribute your VMs into two Hyper-V hosts.
Use Cluster Shared Volumes in a Windows Server 2012 Failover Cluster
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj612868.aspx
> 2 teamed NIC dedicated to iSCSI storage.
Use Microsoft MultiPath IO (MPIO) to manage multiple paths to iSCSI storage. Microsoft does not support teaming on network adapters that are used to connect to iSCSI-based storage devices. (At least it’s not supported until Windows Server 2008 R2. Although
Windows Server 2012 has built-in network teaming feature, I don’t article which declare that Windows Server 2012 network teaming support iSCSI connection)
Understanding Requirements for Failover Clusters
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771404.aspx
> I have seen using MPIO suggests using different subnets, is this a requirement for using MPIO
> or is this just a way to make sure that you do not run out of IP adressess?
What I found is: if it is possible, isolate the iSCSI and data networks that reside on the same switch infrastructure through the use of VLANs and separate subnets. Redundant network paths from the server to the storage system via MPIO will maximize availability
and performance. Of course you can set these two NICs in separate subnets, but I don’t think it is necessary.
> Why should it be better to not have dedicated wireing for iSCSI and Management?
It is recommended that the iSCSI SAN network be separated (logically or physically) from the data network workloads. This ‘best practice’ network configuration optimizes performance and reliability.
Check that and modify cluster configuration, monitor it and give us feedback for further troubleshooting.

Slow Performance Over time, Drawing Access Forms

we've been using a small access database for almost a year now, written from scratch using only Access 2013
over time drawing of one of the forms slows right down, once the form is draw its fine, but if you switch to a different form at the top then switch back it draws slow, maybe 7-8 seconds compared to the usual 1 second, sometimes it can work all day no problem,
sometimes after an hour it starts drawing the form slow, the only way to cure it is to restart the machine.
Logging off and logging back on doesn't cure it, only restarting it, it does get restarted every night automatically as an attempt to help the problem
this happens on 2 machines, both have intel HD graphics, (previously one was using a NVidia GT 250 which had appalling performance in design mode (even with hardware acceleration disabled) so we switched to the on-board, although this issue happens
with both machines)
Back end gets compacted/and repaired every night on a schedule as I did notice a big slow down if you let that go a couple of weeks, I've decompiled/recompiled the front end, short of re-writing the form I'm not sure what to do, it does have a lot of controls,
around 30 textboxes 1 combo box + 20 or so labels and 4 buttons, one embedded report, it only happens on this one form, I have embedded reports in other forms which don't have the same issue and have the same number of controls.
I'm a bit of a loss, its not a huge issue, but just an annoyance, when I get time I'm tempted to try recreating the form from scratch, but there is a lot of VBA code behind it, before trying that just wondering if there are any suggestions to improve performance?
*edit* the form is loaded from a list of customers, so it gets opened closed a lot, I thought simply hiding the form instead of loading/unloading all the time would speed it up, it does slightly improve the speed after viewing the second lot of details,
however it suffers the safe fate of slowing down over time, it seems to be only drawing the form and not accessing the db

I think you would benefit from a code review by a strong Access developer. What you are describing is not normal and may be caused by systematic programming choices.
-Tom. Microsoft Access MVP
Just wondering, once this does happen going into design mode on any form is slow to draw, but only the one form at runtime once it starts happening.
the only visible difference apart from waiting is seeing the 'property sheet' on the right hand side gets visibly drawn left to right on any form once this happens, switch back to form view you see it get wiped out slowly, fade from left to right as it blanks
the form out
I had this 'slow' behaviour constantly with the NVidia card in one of our machines, even on new blank databases.
I'm not even sure if this is linked to the form I've made or not, its just the only reason I notice it is that it's frustrating to use.
Is this code review idea something that people volunteer to check or is it a paid service?

Server 2012 extremly slow

Hi!
Just installed MS Server 2012 R2 Standard 64-bits on a HP Pro Liant 380p host. When trying to connect the network cable to the network and domain the GUI becomes extremly slow (can't drag the mouse without waiting for some seconds or open windows). We
have no indication on the preformance meters and need to unplug the cable to be able to use the GUI. Anyone have a solution for this problem?

Hi
I would suggest getting up to date drivers for the machine. Also check the event viewer on what is failing.
how much ram do you have in the server?
Hope this helps. Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.
Drivers is up to date, event viewer gives no information and it's 96GB RAM installed.

SCCM 2012 Console - slow performance when browsing in Applications Deployments

Hi There,
we are experiencing a slow Console (SCCM 2012 R2 CU1, one Primary) if we go to Software Library > Applications and than clicking on Deployments. It takes up to 2 Minutes if we get results of the Deployments which depend to the Application. It Doesn´t
matter if there are 0 or 20 Deployments.
It only occurs if the SCCM Admins do not have full Admin rights in SCCM.
The reason must be the Security Scopes, because all Admins have full rights to be a "Application Deployment Manager".
Can somebody help me to get rid of this Problem?

Florian

Dreamweaver CS5 - extremely slow performance over VPN

I work for a company in Ohio but live in Virginia, and I have to use VPN to access our company's network drives. I am running Dreamweaver CS5 on Windows 7, 2GB of RAM, reasonably fast residential internet connection. Dreamweaver is so slow over VPN! It takes forever to cache a site, to open, save or close a file, or even just to refresh the document if I leave the window and then come back to it later. Sometimes it's upwards of 3 to 5 minutes (or more!) of the program hanging while I wait for it to wake up.
I realize that some of this is affected by the connection speed at the office in Ohio, but is there anything I can do to make DW run faster over VPN? Copying the files locally is not really an option because a) it would take too long to copy the sites we work on to my computer, b) I don't want to mess with multiple copies of files and c) I'm not savvy enough to run a .NET site locally on my computer.

b) I don't want to mess with multiple copies of files and c) I'm not savvy enough to run a .NET site locally on my computer.
Not really sure about these points. Personally if I were in your situation I would have a copy of the files locally for editing and then set up a testing server in DW that connects to the VPN for testing and then one remote one to push to the live server. And are you using subversion with multiple copies of files? Is that what you are trying to say? Are there other developers besides yourself?
And 2GB of ram is not a lot on a Windows 7 machine. Windows 7 requires 1GB (32-bit) or 2GB (64-bit) out of the box and that's not including your VPN program, Outlook, Anti-Virus, Firewall and any other software you have. With the price of memory right now and I would personally recommend asking the company to double the memory up to 4GB for smoother DW operation. I don't believe that will help the internet connection, but it will make editing in DW a little bit easier.

[Solved] Foreach loop that loops over all files in a folder does not consider first file found

Hello,
I have a foreach loop in SSIS (as part of Visual Studio 10 and with SQL Server 2012).
It loops over all files in a folder (ForEach File Enumerator).
I set the folder: OK
Traverse Sub folders: OK
I have set up a Variable in Variable Mappings called FileName so it shows User::FileName: OK
Index of variable is 0: OK
It almost works ok. Except that the first file it finds is never considered.
I set a breakpoint then and the first file it finds, is shown in black in the watch variable window. All subsequent files found are shown in red font. When I change the names of the files so another file is the first file found then it skips the other one
which now is the first file.
What is going on here? Why does SSIS skip the first file it finds in a foreach file loop?
Any suggestions highly appreciated.
Thank you
Andi
Andreas

"red font - interesting, any example to show us (image)
It would be interesting to share with us whether you use any file masks or expressions.
Arthur

It appears a variable value turns red when it changes between breakpoints. It started black for the first value (the first file, obtained BEFORE the execution reached the breakpoint), and then turned red. I was able to reproduce this behavior on a test environment.
However, it did not skip any files.
OP, please set up the test shown in the image below. Create a breakpoint in the sequence container for the "OnPreExecute" event.

SQL Server 2005 performance decreases with DB size while SQL Server 2012 is fine

Hi,
We have a C# windows service running that polls some files and inserts/updates some fields in database.
The service was tested on a local dev machine with SQL Server 2012 running and performance was quite decent with any number of records. Later on the service was moved to a test stage environment where SQL Server 2005 is installed. At that point database
was still empty and service was running just fine but later on, after some 500k records were written, performance problems came to light. After some more tests we've founds out that, basically, database operation performance in SQL Server 2005 decreases with
a direct correlation with the database size. Here are some testing results:

One more thing is that it's not Process2 table that constantly grows in size but is Process1 table, that gets almost 100k records each run.
After that SQL Server 2005 has also been installed on a dev machine just to test things and we got exactly the same results. Both SQL Server 2005 and 2012 instances are installed using default settings with no changes at all. The same goes for databases
created for the service.
So the question is - why are there such huge differences between performance of SQL Server 2005 and 2012? Maybe there are some settings that are set by default in SQL Server 2012 database that need to be set manually in 2005?
What else can I try to test? The main problem is that production SQL Server will be updated god-knows-when and we can't just wait for that.
Any suggestions/advices are more than welcome.

Hi,
It is not clear to me what is that you are doing, but now we have a better understanding on ONE of your tables an it is obviously you will get worse result as the data become bigger. Actually your table look like a automatic build table by ORM like Entity
Framework, and it's DDL probably do not much your needs. For example if your select query is using a filter on the other column that [setID] then you have no index and the server probably have to scan the entire table in order to find the records that you
need.
Forum is a suitable place to seek advice about a specific system (as I mentioned before we are not familiar with your system), and it is more suitable for general questions. For example the fact that you have no index except the index on the column [setID]
can indicate a problem. Ultimately to optimize the system will need to investigate it more thoroughly (as it is no longer appropriate forum ... but we're not there yet). Another point is that now we can see that you are using [timestamp] column, an this
implies that your are using this column as a filter for selecting the data. If so, then maybe a better DDL will be to use clustered index on this column and if needed a nonclustered index on the [setID] if it is needed at all...
what is obviously is that next is to check if this DDL fit
your specific needs (as i mentioned before).
Next step is to understand what action do you do with this table. (1) what is your query which become slowly in a bigger data set. (2) Are you using ORM (object relational mapping, like Entity Framework
code first), and if so then which one.

Summery over all server metrics

has somebody a finished web page which displays all or the core informations of the server metrics?

Hi,
As Sam suggested, please check if there any issue occurred in hard drive.
On current situation, please also refer to following steps and troubleshoot, then check if we can find more
clues.
Please check if you have installed all necessary updates for the Windows Server 2012 R2.
Please
perform a clean boot to check if there has software conflicts.
Please use Resource Monitor to troubleshoot and check if we can find some more details.

[DC2] An net use or LsaPolicy operation failed with error 67 - Moving AD from 2003R2 to Server 2012

Hello, i hope someone can help me with this tricky situation.
The plan is to move AD from 2003R2 name "DC" to a server 2012 "DC2"
I have made all the adjustments and transferred all the role to the new 2012 server, and both are now GC servers.
The problem is "transferring" the netlogon share.
in DCDIAg on the new server i get:

I have as a last option the burflags issue, i tried this with the option D2, but i think i have done it wrong, because the netlogon share is gone on the old DC. i took a backup of the files and folders before
i did this. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290762/en-us But i am a little confused on which server i am going to set the D4 value on now? COuld someone help? Best regards Aksel

Hello Dirk
And thank you for your answer, in regards of the KB, do i have to follow the steps regarding:
Global vs. replica set specific reinitialization
You can locate the replica set specific
BurFlags
registry key by determining the GUID for the replica set that you want to configure. To determine which GUID
corresponds to which replica set and configure a restore, follow these steps:
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type cmd and then press ENTER.
In the Command box, type net stop ntfrs.
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type regedit and then press ENTER.
To determine the GUID that represents the replica set that you want to configure, follow these steps:
Locate the following key in the registry:
KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters\Replica Sets
Below the Replica Sets subkey, there are one or more subkeys that are identified by a GUID. In the left pane, click the GUID, and then in the right
pane note the Data that is listed for the Replica Set Root value. This file system path will indicate which replica set is represented by this GUID.
Repeat step 4 for each GUID that is listed below the Replica Sets
And so on?
I have only thos 2 DC's in the network...

Server 2012 R2 slow performance over all
