Very Slow Windows Networking

My department is running OS X 10.4, and we're networked with a Windows server for storage and job backup. One of our main backup servers is very slow. Logging into the server can take up to 5-7 minutes, and for a period of 5-7 minutes after that the machine logging into the server will run very slow, even when not copying a file.
Now the backup server is quite large (almost a terrabyte), which is my belief why it runs so slowly. We have two other servers on the same network that behave fine.
Is there something on my end (OS X) that can speed up the problem, or is this a server issue? My boss is demanding answers and our Windows IT guy is placing the blame solely on our Macs (with no evidence of course). Help!

Google for "SMB performance". There are a bunch of discussions on macosxhints on how to tweak SMB performance on Max OS X. I have tried a few different ones, which all seem to help in some small way. YMMV.
Apple SMB is not known for its performance.

  • Very slow Windows domain login over IPSec VPN

    Hi
    I'm experiencing very slow Windows domain logins over an IPSec VPN connection. The AD is in Site 1, some users are in Site 2. Two Cisco ASA firewalls connect both sites by an IPSec VPN over the Internet.
    I made some registery changes on the Windows XP client on site2 to let Kerberos communicate over TCP instead of UDP. Still the logins take extremely long (45 minutes). Profiles are very small, so there had to be a problem with Kerberos, MTU sizes or somethin like that. I already changed the clients MTU settings to 1000 byes, but login is still very slow. I made some sniffer logs...
    Does anybody know what the problem can be ?
    Regards
    Remco

    Hi Remco,
    The most common issue with slowness over VPN is going to be fragementation. In general below are the recommendations to avoid fragmentation
    1. For TCP traffic, use "ip tcp adjust-mss 1360" on the Internal LAN Interface on the Router. If you are using GRE then configure "ip mtu 1400" under the Tunnel Interface.
    If you are not using GRE then the value of "ip tcp adjust-mss" depends on the type of transform-set being used E.g. AES\3DES etc, so you can increase the value of TCP adjust command from 1360 to a higher value. Though I will start from 1360 first for testing.
    Also take a look at the below article for MTU Issues

  • Photoshop CS6 very very slow (Windows 7)

    Hi, im desperate as ive run out of options i think. Photoshop CS6 behaves slow, very slow.
    Even with no document open, right after launch it reacts with delay on any mouseclick, sometimes it takes
    more than 20 seconds before a menu pops open after clicking. Painting paintbrushes are impossible slow.
    Basically any action is dragged.
    Its impossible to work like this. With all previous versions of PS i never encountered this.
    Things i tried :
    - turned off gpu acceleration (i read that gpu can cause performance issues, some ppl solved slowness by turning it off)
    - updated latest nvidia drivers
    - reinstalled photoshop
    - tried to inspect photoshop processes with ProcessHacker, even when at 5% cpu it runs extremely slow
    specs :
    Windows 7
    Nvidia GT545
    1 terrabyte free scratch disk space (on C:)
    8 gb ram
    CPU i7 2600

    Has it always run slow, or did this start recently?
    What anti-virus are you using?  Have you tried disabling it to see it that make a difference?
    Are you working over a network?

  • Sqlsrv very slow over network

    I'm using sqlsrv (php_pdo_sqlsrv_55_ts.dll and php_sqlsrv_55_ts.dll) in PHP (5.5.12, CLI version on Windows 8.1) to connect to a SQL Server 2012 over a VPN tunnel. But the transfer rate for large result sets is very slow.
    Testing SSMS on the same PC over the same VPN tunnel for this query (query is just for testing purposes, I also tried other queries with large data sets and all showed the same performance issues):
        SELECT *
        FROM [Data].[dbo].[Logins]
        WHERE date >= '2014-01-27 00:00:00.000' AND date < '2014-01-29 00:00:00.000'
    returns about 100,000 rows in 4 seconds. Checking the transfer rate on my firewall/VPN shows 2,500 KB/s (on a 100mbit network) while the query is running.
    Using PHP:
        sqlsrv_configure('ClientBufferMaxKBSize', 1024*1024);
        $dbconnect = "SERVER\\HERE";
        $dbconinfo = array("UID" => "user", "PWD" => "pass", "Database" => "Data")
        $conn = sqlsrv_connect( $dbconnect, $dbconinfo);
        $sql = "
        SELECT *
        FROM [dbo].[Logins]
        WHERE date >= '2014-01-27 00:00:00.000' AND date < '2014-01-29 00:00:00.000'
        $options = array();
        $options["Scrollable"] = SQLSRV_CURSOR_CLIENT_BUFFERED;
        $options["QueryTimeout"] = 30000;      
        $stmt = sqlsrv_query( $conn, $sql, array(), $options);
    runs 40 seconds and the firewall/VPN shows less than 150 KB/s while the query is running. Task-Manager shows around 5% CPU load for the script.
    I used SQLSRV_CURSOR_CLIENT_BUFFERED just for testing, because it reads the result in its own buffer without any further PHP code. Fetching each set of data without buffering is just a little bit slower (around 45 seconds).
    I also tried a PDO version which lead to the same result.
    ConnectionPooling 0 or 1 didn't make any difference either.
    Changing server name to DNS vs. IP adress also made no difference.
    LogSubsystems -1 and LogSeverity -1 did not show any issues or anything helpful at all.
    I even used Wireshark to watch the network traffic but couldn't find any big differences between PHP and SSMS versions. But I don't know too much about networking layers.
    So the CPU load is low, there is no HDD use at all, the network transfer rate is extremely slow and the SQL server would be capable to deliver the results very much faster. And it actually is a lot faster with SSMS on the same PC and network connection.
    Why is sqlsrv so very slow?
    Any ideas what might be the issue or what I could try to speed up PHP/sqlsrv would be greatly appreciated.

    Please tell us what are waits assigned to query, you can use below tsql code to get the information.
    select session_id, t.text, start_time, status, command, db_name(database_id) As DBname, USER_NAME(user_id) As UserName, blocking_session_id, wait_type, wait_time, wait_resource, percent_complete from sys.dm_exec_requests
    CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(sql_handle) as t
    This information can help us to understand the problem.
    Thanks,
    Shashikant 
    Sadly I don't have the rights on the SQL Server for this query. But from what I gathered from similar issues on the web, SQL Server is most likely waiting for the client.
    I also tried the same testing query now with Power Query in Excel. It's as fast as with SSMS. Just with sqlsrv on PHP it's extremly slow.
    Testing the query on a local SQL Server, it's pretty much instantaneous with SSMS, Excel and sqlsrv on PHP as well.

  • After Photoshop CC 2014 update - Photoshop is very slow (Windows 7)

    After updating today to the latest photoshop cc2014 Version, Photoshop starts very slow and is not useable.
    I updated from V. 2014.1.0 to 2014.2.1 20141014.r.257.
    Starting Photoshop Needs 6 minutes (before 1.5 minutes). The menue and button reactiontime is more than slow, you cant work with this Setup.
    Is there a Problem with the new release?
    And please Adobe, dont tell me, my System has a problem. Did only an update on the CC2014 Suite via creative cloud. Old PS Version (2014.1.0)runs great.
    After testing a few time, I recovered my System back to Version 2014.1.0 with Windows recovery and Photoshop works good again.
    So whats wrong with the new release?

    The CC 2014 update  2014.2.1 is a month old and ACR 8.7 is two days old.  Something strange is happening to you.  First try resetting your Photoshop Preferences. This is a Adobe Photoshop User forum your not dealing with Adobe here. You seem to think you are and your attitude seems like you not open to to possibility that your system may have a problem. I think you may have one..

  • Very slow downloads Network test says "can't connect to Apple"

    Have a 1st generation ATV and it has been working great for years until now. When I have slow downloads so I go to "Test Network" and it fixes the problem, but not any more. Now it says "can't connect to Apple"
    Funny thing is it can connect but it is very very slow!
    I have tried most everything I can think of this has got me stumped!
    -- Speed test on my network shows I am getting 12 Mb/s download speeds with Comcast cable
    -- using an Apple Airport extreme
    -- I have NOT done any changes to my network
    -- Have done a factory reset on ATV
    -- rebooted my Airport
    -- Made sure all my updates have been done
    -- Hooked ATV up with ethernet cable to network that just seemed to make to worse! strange?
    -- look all very the boards
    Does any one have any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I have the same experience, i.e., "Test Network" used to improve slow downloads, but now when I attempt it, the test download progress bar moves, but then I get the "can't connect to Apple" error message. I have not yet found a solution to this, however it may be related to the following problem:
    ATV does not remember wireless network password.
    ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
    I am having to re-enter the wireless network password every time the ATV starts up, and sometimes during startup it appears to be in a Catch-22 situation where it is trying to access the network but cannot because it has not yet let me manually enter the password, so it spends a long time with amber or amber plus white light blinking, and then more time with solid white light before finally showing the startup sequence, about half an hour after being switched on.
    See post about password problem at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=13182180#13182180, which also lists my equipment.

  • Windows Vista = very slow wireless network

    I have a brand new Lenovo ThinkPad Z61p. A great machine, great performance. But Vista seems to get in its way.
    The first thing I did, was to re-install Windows Vista to get a clean machine, without alle the junk that comes with it. At work, the wireless network worked just fine - but when I came home, it was so slow. I mean REALLY slow. If I turned the wireless network card off, and plugged in a cable, I was flying on the Internet. But for the wireless adapter, even a page like msdn.microsoft.com could take 3-4 minutes just to load.
    I thought the issue was the drivers for the wireless network adapter, but later, in my desperate attempt to solve the problem, I removed a Windows feature called Windows DFS Replication service, which solved my problem.
    This was 4 weeks ago - and now the problem has returned. I've been reading a lot of forum posts around the web. I've uninstalled some other features, disabled IPv6, disabled Vista Auto-tuning ( i did that 4 weeks ago as well)...
    Nothing is working. I've also changed the default Network authentication mode, I've updated the drivers for the Intel Pro Wireless 3945abg, changed the wireless mode and a lot of things. Nothing is working.
    Does anyone in here have the same issues, or does anyone know what is wrong?

    I picked up a new IBM ThinkPad T60P (Wide) running Vista Business, and I am experiencing the same problems with an extremely slow wireless connection. I get the same slow performance on the wireless network in my office as in my home.
    The second I disable the wireless and plug in the cable directly to the router (ZyXeL) everything runs perfectly. I also tested connecting an Apple AirPort to the router (via cable) and connected directly to the AirPort as an access point instead of connecting to my normal wireless network, and then everything was working just fine for some reason (almost as fast as when I connect directly to the router via cable)!
    The really weird thing is that I get really quick download rates on at least one website (www.dailyrush.dk) where I can download files at 1.1 MB/s (I should have 15 mbit downstream). The web pages of that website still load pretty slow though when I'm browsing. Most other websites that I have tested load insanely slowly, both when I'm just browsing the pages and when I'm downloading files. For example a 1024 x 695 pixel JPG on Flickr.com might take several minutes to load, or simply time out. The Google front page sometimes takes 15 seconds to load.
    I have my old laptop parked right besides the new one, both connected to the same router on wireless, and the old laptop (IBM ThinkPad T41 running XP) performs fine - downloading anywhere from 10 to 100 times faster!
    It also takes forever to connect to VPN, perhaps 15 or 20 seconds on the Vista laptop and no more than 2 seconds on the XP machine.
    When I ping www.google.com in a command prompt I get some packet loss (between 25 and 100 %) but reasonable ping times averaging about 45ms which is the same as on my old laptop.
    I have tried pretty much everything:
    Disabling Windows Firewall
    Disabling TCP/IP v6 and those other entries in the wireless adapter configuration that are new in Vista
    Disabling security on the router entirely
    Changing security on the router to WPA and WPA2
    Changing the channel on the router (tried several available channels)
    Switching between 802.11 a/b/g modes on the router
    Booting up in safe mode (heard that worked for someone with a similar problem)
    Updating the wireless adapter driver to the newest version
    Installing all available updates from Windows Update
    Moving my laptop really close to the router (duh)
    Uninstalling MacAfee
    Uninstalling Bullguard
    Uninstalling a bunch of pre-installed IBM stuff
    I have come across several threads online where people have had the exact same problem and solved it by uninstalling the pre-installed MacAfee software. My laptop came with MacAfee too but I uninstalled it right away and installed Bullguard instead. When I noticed the connection problems I uninstalled Bullguard too, but little did it help.
    I really hope that someone can help me out here ... I'm kind of running out of ideas :-( Thanks in advance.
    Cheers,
    Stefan

  • Clean install - Slow Windows Networking

    I have done a clean install of 10.6
    I can successfully login to my Windows 2003 server. But, the CONNECTING... takes an extremely long time, about 1 minute.
    If I reboot the 1st time I try to connect it goes very fast. Any other time it takes about 1 minute.
    Any Ideas?

    Search for the opendns solution in this forum "Getting Online and Networking"
    Appears to be an issue with the Windows dns server, as someone else pointed out (or your router´s dns proxy) - it cannot reversely resolve IPs/hostnames.

  • PE7 very slow Windows 7 64 bit

    Hi guys,
    PE7 is running very slowly for me.
    I'm running an i7 920 with 8GB of ram.
    Windows 7 64 bit
    Graphics card is Nvidia GeForce 9600GT running the latest driver V270.61
    I am importing AVCHD videos into PE7 and then just dragging them across onto the work timeline and it just takes ages and hangs there for quite a while.
    I can't edit the video on the timeline at all as it is just taking too long.
    Any suggestions out there would be appreciated.
    thanks

    Since AVCHD is a video file, not just a static picture, hard drive configuration is important
    My 3 hard drives are configured as... (WD = Western Digital)
    1 - 320G WD Win7 64bit Pro and all program installs
    2 - 320G WD Win7 swap file and video project files
    3 - 1T WD all video files... read and write files
    Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
    You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
    Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
    You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
    A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for easy video editing
    One hard drive is not as good as two which is not as good as three

  • Sattalite Pro 6100: Very slow Windows installation

    I have a Sattalite Pro 6100 series.
    The harddrive crashed, so I bought a new one. It is 40 GB / 5700 RPM, so supposedly slightly faster than original equipment.
    When I placed it, BIOS did not see it.
    I removed it, put it back and BIOS did see it.
    I placed the Dutch Windows XP Home CD and NTFS formatted (not fast) the entire HD.
    After that Windows took a good 3 hours to install even though it claimed it would only take 39 minutes to start with.
    Booting up to Windows takes a long time.
    Windows operation seems slower than what I am used to, but I have not actually used the (crashed) laptop for 2 months, so I can't be sure.
    Any idea's?
    David

    Well, yeah. I kinda figured it would be hard to answer, but maybe, just maybe it was a known issue?
    HDD manufacturer is Toshiba.
    I have downloaded the BIOS update and will install this later today. Will this fix the installation of Windows, or is everything just slow due to lack of BIOS update and it will fix itself. In other words: do I need to re-install Windows because it took forever to install?
    No image recovery possible. The old HD is DEAD! No image was made before it died.

  • ZCM 11 very slow Windows 7 image restore

    Hello NG
    In our enviroment we work with ZCM11. We made a Windows 7 image. The zcm
    filesize is about 4.7 GB. The disksize is 40 GB.
    Now the restore take long time. For restoring 4.7 GB Zenworks Imaging need
    about 85 Minutes. It can not be true!!
    The cause why ZCM imaging has problems is the winsxs folder, with a lot of
    small files. Here ZCM do lose much time.
    Does exist a patch or hotpatch that do solve this issue?
    Regards

    Hi Domicicm
    could you send me a link where i can download this imagex tool? I didn't
    find a third party software for imaging.

    hi ramon, if you read older posts on this concern, yes it is "normal"
    .... it seems that's the limitation of the actual imaging engine (10.3
    or 11).
    I'm in the same boat as you, Novell recommends to use imagex the
    third-party tool, that works really fast (about 12 min to restore an
    win7 image, even with the winsxs folder) but the problem with imagex is
    we can't multicast, so big problem here..... no real solution, and
    Novell is expecting to release a new Imaging Engine for about the

  • E4200 Very Slow Windows 7 Wireless to attached HD speeds ( 800k/sec)

    I'm running 1.0.03.
    I have a Toshiba T400 running Win7 Professional.
    I have a WD USB Drive connected to the router. (No problems transffering files to it directly from my laptop)
    Distance to router doesn't matter.
    Right now, all I would like to do is transfer files [video] to the HD attached to the router so that they can be accessed by anyone - primaily by my PS3.
    My wireless speeds range anywhere from 300k/sec to 800k/sec (usually somewhere in the middle - depending on settings I change).  My wired speeds range from 3-4MB/sec.  Both of which I find unacceptable considering even the theoretical speeds of GBe and USB 2.  I've tried disconnected everything but just my computer and the HD from the router as well with no change.
    I've tried MTU, RD protocol disabling, firewall disabling, A/V disabling, Homegroup disabling, adjusting properties in the driver properties (for both wired and wirelss), looking for network driver updates...  Basically anything Google would throw at me with no luck.
    Considering the number of posts I see - I'm guessing it's the router? Has anyone come up with a solution yet or are we stuck waiting for Firmware upgrades?
    At this point, my max torrent speeds (2-2.5MB/sec) via wireless are faster than LAN transferring and that's just not right.  When I return home, I may just try "bypassing" Local Network  and transfer the files via Media FTP and see how that fares.
    Thanks.

    Did you update the firmware to latest or was it pre-installed. If you have updated the firmware of the router recently then it is recommended to reset the router. Push the reset button on router for 30 seconds, turn off the router wait for 30 seconds and then power it on. After this process reconfigure the router. Power light should blink when you perform the reset process.
    Then install the Cisco Connect Software. It will help you in configuring the Router.
    But if you want to configure it manually then here are the links for configuring the according to the ISP setup…
    For DSL Connection:

    http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=1040&userrole=Linksy...
    Secondly do the rest of the wireless settings again and then check the speed of both wired and wireless connection...

  • Very slow Windows 7 boot time

    Hey,
    I recently bootcamped my MacBook with Windows 7 for the second time and I've noticed a huge difference in booting speeds. I have Windows set as my boot device. After the white screen, the laptop stays at a black screen with a flashing white underscore for around a minute. After that, the computer starts as normal.
    How can I remove the black screen, considering there isn't a BIOS for bootcamp?
    Thanks in advance,

    What happens is Bootcamp has work its magic with the Mac EFI system that is similar to what PC systems call Bios. Its the basics startup instructions for the hardware. Because Windows does not work well with EFI boot systems. A longer boot time can be expected. You can check your Windows portion of the boot with MSconfig although I would not mess with changing anything unless you know what your doing. Otherwise you could corrupt the boot config. I would say my Macbook Pro 2011 takes about 20 seconds to boot into Windows from power up to Windows sign in. Remember your not booting Windows on a PC your booting Windows on a Mac which although BootCamp is a decent way to do that. Its not tweaked as well as say a PC which was designed and built around running Windows. Drivers, hardware, and Bootcamp are Apple. Only Windows is Microsoft. I highly doubt Microsoft worries a lot about making Windows boot well on a Mac.

    Hi,
    Thank you for your post.
    From your description, I see the issue you are facing is there is no menu to choose OS when booting dual boot(Windows 7 & Windows 8). Please let me know if I have misunderstood anything.
    It seems that the Windows 7 entry is missing, currently, we can use a tool –
    EasyBCD to get it back. After downloading it, choose the Add/Edit panel item, select the OS you're missing and let the program detect it. Then simply click the Add button to add the missing OS entry.
    At the meantime, here is a related link which demonstrates how to keep Windows 7 as the default OS in dual boot, you may use it for a reference.

  • Very slow performance running Mavericks - need troubleshooting help

    Hello folks:
    I have a MBP 2011 which was upgraded to Mavericks from Mountain Lion about 6 weeks ago. Since then I have had a major performance drop - slow machine, very slow window renderings, etc. I know a number of people have been facing these issues and have been recommended to clean up 3rd party extensions/agents. I ran Etrecheck (report below) and I need some help with fixing the failed kernel extensions and launch daemons. Thanks much!

      Western Digital My Book 1148 3 TB    WD drives are one of the worst things that can happen to a mac. They have software on the drive and also in the firmware of the drive enclosure that is incompatible with Mavericks. The software that they also want you to install on your mac (to run the drive with the shitware on it that is incompatible with Mavericks) is also incompatible with Mavericks. The best thing to do with this drive is to open it and remove the hard drive and put it into a new (non-WD) enclosure. Then smash the WD enclosure into little bits with a sledgehammer and mail it back to WD.

    Kernel Extensions:
    com.wdc.driver.USB_64HP (1.0.0 - SDK 10.6)     This would be part of the shitware that you installed from WD. I would  uninstall the WD application that installs this driver. If the driver is still there after that, I'd look for the extension in /System/Library/Extensions and delete it from there. This may have damaged your kernel, though. If your performance is not improved after removing the WD app and this extension, you should probably back up your documents, erase your HD, and do a clean reinstall of Mavericks.

I would try repairing your hard drive: Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery . Then restart, reassess your mac’s performance, and rerun Etrecheck. If that doesn’t work, I’d reinstall Mavericks over your current installation. If that doesn’t work, I’d do a clean install.
