Network drives have significant delay if not accessed for 1 hour

I’m moving our file server from Netware to Windows Server 2012. I’ve setup a test share. While Netware never gave us any delays in accessing the drive, our test group immediately started complaining that our network drives “would not come up right
away”.
We’re hosting the share on a Server 2012 box and I used both Windows 7 (as that’s the standard in our office) and 8.1 to test the issue. I noticed that the problem shows itself if a user hasn’t accessed the drive for more than an hour. The effects are
also exaggerated on Windows 7: if a user hasn’t used the drive, it takes on average 25 seconds to open the drive. This is lessened somewhat with Windows 8, which either doesn’t have the problem or has a delay of 5 seconds to open the drive. This is an improvement,
but it’s still not acceptable considering we had *no* delays with Netware.
The first thing I surmised was a problem with the network drivers on my test machines, so I updated them. It didn’t affect the issue at all.
So then I assumed the problem was coming from some sort of reconnection issue from the end machine to the server, so I attempted to follow the fixes located at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297684 in order to keep the connection alive indefinitely. This had
no effect. The delays were just as long as they had been prior to making any changes.
I’m beginning to run out of ideas as to why our test network drive has these delays. Thanks in advance for any insight you all might have.
edit: Upon further testing, I have the following information:
- HD spindown times on the server are set to 0 mins, so there is no spin-down occuring.
- I haven't been able to find any useful information in the server's event logs.
- There is no third-party software installed on the server.
- There are no extra services running on this server. Just the file share.
- My network provider setup is as follows: NetWare Services >> Microsoft Remote Desktop Session Host Server >> Microsoft Windows Network >> Web Client Network

Hi,
The issue may be due to the SMB protocol between client and server. Please refer to the thread below to add some registry keys to force SMB2.0 to refresh the screen quicker.

I lost my images from my hard drive and now I can not access them in Lightroom. What can I do?

I lost my images from my hard drive and now I can not access them in Lightroom. What can I do?

Your images are truly no longer present on the hard drive(s)? Have you had your operating system do a search for them?
If such a search fails to find them, here's what I would do, in order
Look in the trash can/recycle bin
Restore from backups
If you don't have backups ... well, why not? ... find a program on the internet called an "undelete utility" (free versons are available) and then download and install it and run it. If you are going to do this, then do not perform any other tasks on your computer except find the program, download it (if possible to a different drive than the photos were stored on), install it (if possible to a different drive than the photos were stored on), and run it. In the future, you will need to commit to making regular backups of your photos and of your Lightroom catalog file, no excuses.
If that doesn't work, but the thumbnails still appear in Lightroom, you can probably recover the thumbnails from Lightroom via a plug-in, but these would be low-resolution versions of your photos, if you really need instructions on this step, write back

This is how you Reset - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Let's look further into this and provide a resolution nobama! I don't see any alerts for the zip code you provided. Are you aware if this is happening to other Verizon Wireless customers as well or just your device? Is this happening in a specific area (indoors only)? Which device do you have and when did this begin? Please try powering off your device and remove/insert the sim card and test. Please share. Thank you.

Battery not working for 7 hours

battery not working for 7 hours.. it working only for 3 hours or 4 hours

I'm sorry, got confused. You're not going to get 7 hours on your battery. Apple says "Up to 7 hours". That means they got 7 hours under optimum circumstances and with certain usage. You need to keep your screen brightness as low as you can live with. Minimum music and video. Check some email, a little office type stuff. Forget games. You might get close but you won't get 7 hours.
In the small print of their adds Apple spells out exactly how much of what they did to get 7 hours.

HP B210a goes into a sleep mode if not used for several hours,

Running my B210a eprinter in windows vista. The printer goes into a sleep mode if not used for several hours. The power button is slowly flashing dim then bright, and I need to manually touch the printer's screen to enable it to print. If printer not used for several days, the only way I can make it work is to unplug and plug. Any suggestions or help appreciated. J Rice

HELP I'm getting a blinking folder with a question mark at start up? Have been trying to fix this for 3 hours and I dont want to lose all my files by resetting it completely!!

I currently have Mavericks but my original OS X disk that I have I'm pretty sure is Mac OS X 10.6.6. I'm not great with computers but am usually able to fix problems I have had with mine in the past. I have reinstalled and reset my computer to factory settings before, but I am locked out of my computer completely & can't get to my files to save them & I really dont want to lose them. I was in Safari earlier opening a file, the page started to not respond & froze up my whole desktop so I did a hard shutdown & restarted my computer. I haven't been able to get back into my account ever since. If my only choice is to lose my files & reinstall everything, I need detailed instructions because I actually attempted to do this at first, out of desperation to fix my computer & the installer was asking me to select what disk I wanted to reinstall lion to yet I dont have a disk for that nor do I know what it exactly is asking of me? Please help

Question (?) Mark, Blinking Folder, or Gray Screen at Startup
These are related but not identical issues. Their causes are outlined in Intel-based Mac- Startup sequence and error codes, symbols. Solutions may be found in:
A flashing question mark or globe appears when you start your Mac
Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup
In most cases the problems may be caused by one or more of these:
a. Problem with the computer's PRAM - See Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM.
b. Boot drive's directory has been corrupted - Repair with Disk Utility.
c. Critical system files are damaged or deleted - Reinstall OS X.
d. The disk drive is physically non-functional - Replace the hard drive.
Note that the information I have provided is what Apple recommends, If other users suggest different solutions than found here, then be sure what they recommend does not impact on your warranty, if any, or ability to get continuing Apple service.
Please don't start removing drives or changing cables unless you know what you are doing and have exhausted other non-invasive alternatives outlined here. If you perform any work yourself that is unapproved by Apple, then you will void any warranty you may have and lose all further Apple Support.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
The main difference if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion is that you must first boot from the Recovery HD. Simply boot from the Recovery HD to perform the above.

If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing The Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Impact of having the fsmo role holders not available for 14 hours...

Hi everyone, we have a situation where we will lose power to the building for 14 hours and since we don't have a generator we'll be shutting down our main site. We have 15 sites, each has a dc and the hq site has two with the fsmo roles distributed between
the two at hq. So two questions to start with:
1. What will be the impact of having the fsmo role holding domain controllers inaccessible for a period of 14 hours?
2. What will we be facing once we regain power and turn the hq dc's back on?
Look forward to hearing back about this - the power outage is this weekend though!!

Hi,
Sorry for the delay reply.
If your PDC Emulator fails, certain domain functions, security functions, can stop functioning. If anyone of the following is not happening then you should check if your PDC Emulator is working properly:
•Time is not Syncing: PDC is the default source for the client computers to sync the time. If client computers are not syncing the time then you should always check the PDC.
•User accounts are not locked out: PDC Emulator processes the account lockouts immediately for the entire domain.
For more detail information, please refer to:

My iPhone 5 delays texts being received for an hour and sometimes days at a time. What can I do to fix that?

So I have had the iPhone 5 since the day it came out in September. I have noticed, randomly, it will delay texts from individuals and in group messages. It has delayed for an hour or more, and more than once it has delayed for more than a day. I have looked at the sent message time and it says 8:52am but I am receiving it at 9:30am? Or once it kept ringing for like a minute straight as all the messages from a group message came in from two days prior, they have the date they were sent but they don't get to me until much later than needed. I have no idea why it does it either. Any help?

I am having the same problem on my iPhone 5 16gb on Verizon. I did a fresh restore from scratch twice and my messaging is extremely slow/buggy it freezes mid text, mid sending, while opening a photo received photo or sent photo in messaging app. Also I have had the phone just refuse to turn on until I wait for like 1 minute and keep trying. Another issue with the messaging app is that sometimes the messaging app will chime in as a new message is received minutes after I have already read and replied to it.
Do I have a lemon piece of hardware or is this potentially a software bug affecting more users?

I did not charged for 12 hours yet my new probook 4530s. is it okay ?......

HP Pobook 4530s
Windows 7 Home Premium
Question:
I did not charge my new laptop for 12 hours not a single time (which i bought 4 days ago). I am charging/discharging again and again 3 times daily.
Now,
1) tell me is it okay to deal my laptop battery like as it is going on ?
2) can i charge it for 12 hours 3 times (charging/discharging cycles) after its 4 days working ?
send me your response as soon as possible !!!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I would simply suggest that you use the adapter to power the unit more often if possible, rather than going through 3 charge cycles per day. It's completely up to you -- there is no right or wrong here.
The two tools may be reading it at different times or using slightly different math to calculate this.
The calibration does not require you to charge/discharge 3 times. It is nearly impossible to calculate battery life with 100% accuracy; this is due to the constant changing of power draw. For example, if you are watching an HD movie or playing a 3D game, your power usage will increase. But, if the computer is sitting there idle (not in use, but turned on), it uses much less power. These and other factors make it impossible to perfectly calculate how much battery is left.

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
