Slow browsing on windows server

I upgraded 4 stations that were running under Tiger to Lion and now the browsing of my Windows server via the Finder is awfully slow. I've a read a number of so-called fixex whcih none seems to work for everyone.

Is the problem only with files from the server?
Do downloads from the internet go any faster?

  • Very slow DFSR on Windows Server 2008

    We need to have distributed file system between two location.
    I evaluating possibility to use DFS and two Windows Server 2008 to do it.
    I set up two computer with clean installation of system.
    The test is on two local subnets, so speed should not be an issue.
    Each server is defined in separate logical site.
    The DFSR folder I create on one server has 50 GB / 40,000 files.
    The initial replication still is not finished after couple of days.
    The transfer speed is only about 5kB/s and 3 files / min.
    I increase staging quote to 100GB, so it should not be a limit.
    I also make simple test of speed between both servers.
    I create shared folder on both servers and manually copy files.
    The transfer speed is reasonable 5 MB/s (1000 time faster that DFSR).
    There is no processor load on servers (0% CPU).
    This is test before real use so server do almost nothing else.
    The event log shows sometimes 5014 but followed immediately with 5004.
    Does anybody have an idea what is wrong?

    Thank you for your help.
    The replication process just stopped.
    This morning target folder size is exactly same as yesterday.
    Previously it at least slowly increase.
    I looked at those log files, but I still need to understand them.
    The log level is default (means 4) and there is many entries there.
    Anyway I attached examples, while searching what it their meaning.

  • Can't browse a Windows Server share by name, but only by IP.

    Hello all,
    I have one babbling problem.  I have three servers, 01, 02, and 03.  01 and 02 are running Windows Server 2008 R2 and both are physical servers.  H001 is running Windows 2012 with a Virtual Windows 2008 R2 server (Hyper-V) called 03. 
    01 is setup as the Active Directory, DNS, Domain Controller, and a few other server roles.  02 replicates 01 and 03 has a few programs on it.
    The problem I am having is that when I log in (Domain or non-Domain) Mapped drivers to 01 and 02 are populated automatically, but 03 can’t be found.  If I ping the name, 03 it tells me that 03 is not there.  However, if I ping 03’s ip address,
    I can see it. I can even do a tracert.  I can do a remote desktop to 01 and 02 using the network names but with 03 I have use the ip address.
    Trying to do a Remote Desktop connection with the server name, 03 gives me the error, "The connection cannot be completed because the remote computer that was reached is not the one you specified.  This could be caused by an outdated entry in the
    DNS cache.  Try using the IP address of the computer instead of the name."
    I can use the IP address to connect but I really require to use the name.
    If I login to the Domain, 03 takes up to 60 minutes to appear. I am then able to access shared resources with the name and not the ip.
    I searched the Internet for a solution, but couldn’t find anything that worked.  Any ideas you have, please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Ernie

    Hi Ernie,
    Thanks for clarifying. I missed that H001 was the name of your Hyper-V server.
    In order for 03 to register its name in DNS, first of all the checkbox to "register this connection's addresses in DNS" must be enabled on the network interface. By default it is enabled, so it probably is enabled unless you somehow disabled it.
    In order to accomplish the DNS registration (adding it's host name and IP address to the domain) it sends an SOA query to the primary DNS server configured on its network interface (it does this on all network interfaces if there are multiple). The SOA query
    basically asks the question: What DNS server is authoritative for my domain? In other words, where do I need to send this information?
    Note: If the computer is a DHCP client, and DHCP is configured to register records on behalf of clients, then the DHCP server issues the SOA query.
    Below is an example of how to issue an SOA query using nslookup. The computer will add its own domain instead of contoso.com.
    C:\> nslookup -q=soa contoso.com
    Server:  ipam1.contoso.com
    Address:  192.168.0.3
    Non-authoritative answer:
    contoso.com
            primary name server = dc1.contoso.com
            responsible mail addr = hostmaster.contoso.com
            serial  = 77
            refresh = 900 (15 mins)
            retry   = 600 (10 mins)
            expire  = 86400 (1 day)
            default TTL = 3600 (1 hour)
    dc1.contoso.com internet address = 192.168.0.1
    dc1.contoso.com AAAA IPv6 address = 21da:d3:0:2f3b:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff
    The query above tells you a couple things:
    1. The DNS server that the SOA query is sent to is 192.168.0.3 (aka ipam1.contoso.com). That's because 192.168.0.3 is the primary DNS server configured on this computer's network adapter.
    2. The authoritative DNS server for contoso.com is 192.168.0.1 (aka dc1.contoso.com).
    If I configure an IP address on ipam1.contoso.com - say I change it from 192.168.0.3 to 192.168.0.4, the computer will ask it's DNS server where to send the update, it will find out that the update needs to be sent to 192.168.0.1, and it will send a request
    to the DNS server at 192.168.0.1 to change the host (A) record from .3 to .4.
    If no SOA record is returned when the query is sent, perhaps because the computer has no domain or belongs to a domain that is hosted somewhere else, then registration of the host name won't happen.
    Registration also won't happen if the computer (03) can't reach the authoritative DNS server (01).
    In your VM "03" open up a command prompt and issue the nslookup shown above, using your domain instead of contoso.com. Verify that an authoritative server is returned and that it is correct, and that you can get to 01 from 03.

  • How do I set firefox as the default browser in Windows Server 2012 Group Policy Editor?

    Hello, I am unable to set firefox as the default browser despite multiple different attempts to do so using group policy.
    I have:
    - Set a registry command (targeted at 32/64 via a WMI query) to reset the opening command as shown below:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\http\shell\open\command
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -osint -url "%1"
    - Set a powershell logon script to run (that does run):
    firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser
    Despite setting the above it seems the client computers browsers are not affected by the settings above. When the script runs or if I run the command above a UAC window pops up and requests that I accept the command (for the setDefaultBrowser) but even if I click yes as an administrator it does nothing.
    Since GPO in 2012 has changed perhaps there is something that I am missing? Do I need to somehow disable Windows Internet Explorer from achieving default browser status?
    Please do not reply if you will suggest that I use Internet Explorer Maintenance (since this function in GPO has been disabled since IE10)
    My DC is Server 2012, my client computers are Win7 32/64.

    The above reply does not take into account that I am trying to use GROUP POLICY EDITOR to make it the default browser.

  • 10.6.8 Slow SMB browsing of Windows Servers 2008

    MY IMAC 21 .5 Inch MAC OS X 10.6.8 slow SMB browsing of windows Server 2008 kindly anybody have any idea why its happened or after LION release maybe this issue will be solve.

    Hehe... Servers are tricky things for sure. 
    It sounds like you're expecting to have users log in from outside your network, but that you're testing from within?  Is this the case?
    If your users are trying to log in from outside the local network of the server, then you'll need to ensure that the correct port forwarding is set up on your firewall.
    Next thing I'd try...  Simplify your share to ensure that the problem isn't with your group set up.  Eliminate all the ACL's associated with it.
    Add one sole user to the ACL, give it read and write, and try to log in using that credential.
    Ensure that the POSIX Permissions are set to default.  (administrator should be the owner, staff should be group, read and writable only by the owner, everyone else gets read only)
    If that works, remove that user, add a group to the ACL and try and log in using a user that's listed in the new group specified.
    Perhaps if you supplied a little more info about your server and how it's connected to it's network.  What it's roles are etc. we might be able to give a little more insight.

  • Not working properly Computer Browser service in Windows Server 2012

    Good afternoon.
    Migrated from 2003 to 2012 Active Directory, all is good, but the service Computer Browser in Windows Server 2012 is not working properly.
    Online, there are several hundred computers, one network, no segments. PDC is the Master Browser, it is in my list of all the computers, but gives customers or Backup Browser computers only part, and in alphabetical order, giving the first 70 computers and
    all.
    Looked packet sniffer:
    Microsoft Windows Lanman Remote API Protocol 
    Entry Count: 70 
    Available Entries: 251
    So on Master Browser shows 251 computer, and the client 70.
    If disabled on Windows Server 2012 Service Computer Browser, Master Browser is a computer running Windows Server 2003. He gives all computers.
    What is the problem, how to get Windows Server 2012 to work correctly as a Master Browser?

    More info. I have high lighted in bold where the issue is. This is a massive headache for me at the moment

  • Windows Services - Dropping Network Neighborhood - Slow Browsing

    I am having some strange things occur with the Windows services and wonder if anyone has any ideas. I have read many posts and made sure my DNS is correct, and that the xserve is a domain member in Windows sharing.
    First thing is that the xserve drops out of the network neighborhood out after several days. I can't track down exactly why, but after reboot it shortly returns.
    Second thing relates to browsing the Windows services. When a user browses the shares through My Network Places, the browsing becomes slow to a near halt when they drill down. But when I bring up a window and type the shares address in the address box and setup a shortcut the browsing is much, much more responsive.
    Any help is appreciated, but as of right now I am at a loss for a solution. Do I need to modify the os level in the smb.conf file? Or would enabling Workgroup Master Browser or Domain Master Browser have any effect?

    Hi
    Server Admin > Windows > Settings > Advanced. Disable Workgroup Master Browser or Domain Master Browser if they are ticked.
    If there is more than one PC on the network they have a conference amongst themselves to decide which one of them should present the network browsing container. They are better at it than the Mac Server – they are PCs after all. Leaving this setting enabled on Windows Services on the Mac can cause slow and erratic browsing behaviour as well as computers sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing.
    Although not necessary restart the server after disabling the setting.
    Hope this helps – Tony

  • Windows Domain Controller on Windows Server 2012 R2: Hyper-V roaming profiles not loading due to slow connection

    I have racked my brain and done everything that I know to do for about two weeks now.  I am setting up a new system at our fire department and I am having the worst luck with getting the workstations to login to the domain controller with roaming
    profiles.  It keeps telling me that the roaming profile could not be loaded because of a slow connection.  These are workstations that are connected directly to the switch that the DC is connected to.  I have tried multiple connections regarding
    the layout (DC into the router, router into the switch).  The router is a Cisco RV220W.  I have two VLANS, one for public and one for private domain.  The Private VLAN has DHCP turned off since I am providing it through the DC.  I currently
    have a connection from the Private VLAN going to the unmanaged switch that the workstations and server are plugged into.
    The server is a Dell PowerEdge R420 that has 6 NIC ports (1 dual port and 1 quad port).  I have a virtual switch setup on Hyper-V for an external port (let's say Card 2 Port 3) that is assigned to the WS 2012R2 Domain Controller.  The DC can see
    the internet fine and the workstations can connect to the shared folders on the server.  I can retrieve files by just using the computer name or FQDN.  The DC is also running DNS and DHCP.  The DNS has the _msdcs setup from when I installed
    the active directory role.  I have attempted to assign static IP addresses to the workstations:
    IP:                     10.0.0.80
    Subnet:             255.255.255.0
    IPV4 Gateway:  10.0.0.1
    IPV4 DNS:        10.0.0.12
    I've attempted "append the specific DNS suffix", I've "registered the connection in DNS", I've used "use this connections suffix in DNS registration".
    The server is assigned:
    IP:                     10.0.0.12
    Subnet:             255.255.255.0
    IPV4 Gateway:  10.0.0.1
    IPV4 DNS:         10.0.0.12
    The DNS entries have forwarders that forward to my ISP DNS servers for lookup
    I've enabled and disabled DHCP, I've installed a new VM just to create another DC to make sure that I didn't goof up when I created it.
    I've lost my patience with this project and am sinking fast.  Can someone please offer some advice as to what I've done wrong?  I've created this exact scenario at work many times but, I've never done it with Windows Server 2012.  Is this
    possibly something to do with the Dell PowerEdge server (Generation 12) with the SR-IOV?  I am going to attempt to work on it some more tomorrow when I get over there.  I think there may be an issue with the SR-IOV not being enabled on the machine
    through the Dell Bios.  Would the SR-IOV really cause the workstations to report a slow connection?  When I login at the domain controller the roaming profiles and folder redirection work fine so, I know the GPO settings are correct.  I don't
    have "ignore slow connections" or any of those GPO's set.  I need to get it working the correct way so, I didn't want to fool the server when there is another underlying problem.  Any help that someone can offer, I am more than willing
    to listen.  If you need more information, please ask.
    Thanks,
    Jay

    So, I've managed to research this some more since Thursday and I've come to the conclusion that Hyper-V does a horrible job of supporting Qualcomm NIC cards. That's the only thing I can conclude as far as where the issue is originating. I've read many
    post and walkthroughs but nothing that has helped. The issue wasn't with any settings in the domain controller. The issue was that there really is a slow connection originating at the domain controller that is a VM and has network connectivity through the
    virtual switch from Hyper-V. So, next question is, how do I get the DC to have better connectivity through the NIC that Hyper-V won't give it? If hyper-v would allow passthrough, this would be so much simpler. VM-ware is looking really good at this point.
    Im disappointed in MS right now.

  • Remote Desktop To Windows Server Very Slow

    I have OS X 10.6 running on a MBP and a problem that seems to be growing worse over time. I am using Remote Desktop (both CoRD and Microsoft Remote Desktop) to gain access to remote servers. One is a Windows Server 2008, the others are Windows Server 2003. Initially all was fine, but over the last 2 months access to the W2K server has crawled to a halt. Now, when accessing the other servers I'm having the same issue. I have tried different clients for remote access, used different high speed Internet connections (FIOS, a private network) and the result is the same. Very, very slow connections.
    I have also tried using a different login on the laptop to no avail.
    I booted Windows on my MBP using Parralels Desktop and tried using Windows RDC to the same servers; that works fine. In fact, I can access the servers very quickly using my iPhone's Remote Access software using the same Internet connection (home WiFi) as my MacBook Pro.
    So I can only assume it's an issue with OS X 10.6, since different devices using the same Internet connection can make a much faster connection. But I can't find any similar posts on the issue.
    Any ideas are appreciated!

    Hi Jason,
    From the error message, it seems that take time to load the user configuration properly from the server and then the network connection was slow. Please refer to following article

  • Serial Port communication very slow in RDP on windows server 2012

    Hellò, we have installed a new server 2012 and connected some thinclients via RDP, since that moment all peripherals connected to the imported com ports of the thinclients are running very slow, for example the cash register issue any receipt only after
    15-20 seconds!!. We have try to connect via RDP also a personal computer with many other OS like windows 8, windows 7, or XP but the result is the same: 15-20 seconds for a receipt!! We solve the problem only changing the server 2012 with a old server
    2008 or 2003!. How is possible window server 2012 is so slow on RDP imported com ports??. There is something to set for speed up the com ports on rdp? For us this is a great problem, all of our customers are using cash register via RDP and they can't wait
    all this time for a receipt. For your information we have tried to connect the cash register to the same com port of the same thinclient to the same server 2012 without RDP and the issue of the receipt is fast, so the problem is something on RDC of the new
    OS windows Server 2012. Also note this is a bi-directional communication because the cash register use a bi-directional communication for printing each one of the voice on the receipt, this problem wll not affect other printers unidirectional where the
    print process starting in less one second. Please help us to solve this problem, otherwise we will not more install windows server 2012.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
    When the slow performance issue occurs on server 2012, check the Windows Logs – Application category of the Event Viewer (eventvwr.msc) on both the client and server sides. If there is any logs recorded, please let us know them. Please also check the
    driver is properly installed on server and check the compability guide with the cash register machine, whether it support server 2012 with remote session. If there is particular requirement then you need to solve them first.
    In addition, would like you to try connecting with RDP 8.1 and check whether it faces same issue.
    Remote Desktop Protocol 8.1 Update for Windows 7 SP1 released to web
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks,

  • Windows Server 2012 Storage Spaces Simple RAID 0 VERY SLOW reads, but fast writes with LSI 9207-8e SAS JBOD HBA Controller

    Has anyone else seen Windows Server 2012 Storage Spaces with a Simple RAID 0 (also happens with Mirrored RAID 1 and Parity RAID 5) virtual disk exhibiting extremely slow read speed of 5Mb/sec, yet write performance is normal at 650Mb/sec in RAID 0?
    Windows Server 2012 Standard
    Intel i7 CPU and Motherboard
    LSI 9207-8e 6Gb SAS JBOD Controller with latest firmware/BIOS and Windows driver.
    (4) Hitachi 4TB 6Gb SATA Enterprise Hard Disk Drives HUS724040ALE640
    (4) Hitachi 4TB 6Gb SATA Desktop Hard Disk Drives HDS724040ALE640
    Hitachi drives are directly connected to LSI 9207-8e using a 2-meter SAS SFF-8088 to eSATA cable to six-inch eSATA/SATA adapter.
    The Enterprise drives are on LSI's compatibility list.  The Desktop drives are not, but regardless, both drive models are affected by the problem.
    Interestingly, this entire configuration but with two SIIG eSATA 2-Port adapters instead of the LSI 9207-8e, works perfectly with both reads and writes at 670Mb/sec.
    I thought SAS was going to be a sure bet for expanding beyond the capacity of port limited eSATA adapters, but after a week of frustration and spending over $5,000.00 on drives, controllers and cabling, it's time to ask for help!
    Any similar experiences or solutions?

    1) Yes, being slow either on reads or on writes is a quite common situation for storage spaces. See references (with some of the solutions I hope):

  • Windows Server 2012 HyperV VMs becoming extremely sluggish and slow

    I have recently set up a new system for a client consisting of a single Dell T320 server with Xeon E5-2350 2.2GHz 6 core cPU and 32GB of RAM.  Windows Server 2012 Standard is installed on the bare metal, and runs only the HyperV role.  It is not
    joined to any domains.
    It hosts two VMs, one a Windows Server 2012 Standard VM containing the RDS related roles acting as remote desktop server, with 10GB RAM allocated and 3 cores.  Only 5 people use the terminal server concurrently.
    The second VM is a Windows Server 2008 R2 based primary domain controller, with 16GB of RAM allocated and 3 cores.  It runs the AD role, as well as Exchange and GFI MailEssentials 2012.  Avira is also installed on this VM.
    The problem is that the system will function properly for 3-4 days, then suddenly it goes into a state where a multitude of applications would start consuming inordinate amount of CPU time, and become very, very slow.  Almost like the hypervisor goes
    into a software emulation mode where everything runs like molasses.  This affects BOTH VMs equally.  For example, Exchange and GFI on the Windows 2008 R2 VM together consume about 25% CPU, most of it is spent in kernel CPU time.  At the same
    time, in the other Windows Server 2012 VM, svchost, Taskmgr, WMIPrvSE, LogonUI, Explorer,  sqlservr, wsmprovhost etc. will all consume a total of about 70% CPU time, this time 99% of this is user time, not kernel time.  When one user starts any application,
    be that internet explorer, firefox or TaxPrep, the CPU spikes up to 100%.  
    All while nobody is using the system, the system is idle and no mails are flowing in or out of the system.  A reboot of the VMs does not fix anything, even a reboot of the host server does not fix anything.  When I yanked out the two power supplies
    and performed a hardware diagnostic (which came back 100% OK), it booted up and the slowness was gone for 3 days, until today when it started acting up again like I described above.  
    One more thing, when the system behaves normally the sunspider javascript benchmark in IE10 takes 316ms to execute (average) on the HyperV host operating system.  When the system goes slow like this, I pause the two VMs in HyperV then run sunspider
    again, only to be greeted by an average time of 5084ms.  So this clearly does not only affect the virtual machines but the host operating system as well. My gut still tells me the hypervisor is getting messed up somehow.
    Any ideas?  This is a major problem and I have no idea what is causing it.  

    We have had the EXACT same thing happen with a Dell T320 on two separate servers. The first one was running SQL Server 2008 with nothing else funny going on. It ran fine for a month or so, then it developed this slowness issue. We finally installed SQL on
    a loaner box (without Hyper-V) and it worked fine. We brought the T320 back to our shop and tested the hell out of it with Dell's assistance and it was NTF. Took it back onsite and moved an SBS 2011 VM over to it. After a few days, it ground to a halt. CPU
    utilization was 100%. I started shedding services, killing Exchange, Sharepoint, etc. Even stripped to the essentials, the CPU was still up in the 60-70% range. 
    I put a T310 out onsite and downed the guest SBS vm. I copied the HUGE vhd over to the T310 (running Server 2008r2 with the Hyper-V role) and it ran perfectly. CPU at about 2-4%, spiking to 15% occasionally.
    We finally concocted a story that the USB controller was bad, so they replaced the motherboard (not the CPUs) and it all seems to be working OK now after we sunk at least 100 man-hours into the problem.
    Our second one is a similar setup. T320, Server 2012, Hyper-V role, SBS 2011 Standard and a couple of member servers running basic apps. No one can find any problem and everyone acts like this is something new, although my posting comes one year after Tim's
    original posting.

  • Windows server 2012 R2 PXE boot is unworkable slow, I have this exact same set-up working in 2008 R2 What can I do?

    Hi there
    I'm trying to deploy a windows 7 image through Windows deployment services via PXE boot from a 2012 R2 server.
    Issue:    PXE boot is extremely slow, it takes up to more than 60 minutes for the device to download download the PXE boot
    Things I already tried to get this up and running:
    I've tried to change the TFTP block size via command prompt and via regedit
    I've changed the settings on the tab of the WDS role (go to WDS role -> properties on server -> Tab "tftp")
    Both actions resulted in PXE boot being even slower than it already was.
    To make sure this is not because of our environment I’ve set up the same configuration on a windows server 2008 R2, here PXE boot image is downloaded to the machine within 3 minutes.
    Both servers are set up through Hyper-V this is the configuration:
    2008 R2:
    Memory: 4096 MB
    1 Virtual processor
    IDE controller 2 hard drives
    Network adapter
    2012 R2:
    Memory: 4096 MB
    32 virtual processors
    SCSI controller 2 hard drives
    Network adapter
    I can’t imagine that PXE boot is not working because of the differences of the Hard drives controllers or because of the amount of the virtual processors.
    Windows server 2012 R2 seems to handle PXE boot TFTP differently in comparison to 2008 R2.
    Do you guys know what I can do/try to get this working?

    Hi Jacques Rodrigues,
    You can run Windows Deployment Services on Hyper-V virtual machines,
    that the performance will often be degraded, particularly during the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) download phase. This phase is very resource-intensive and may
    fail if insufficient resources are available on your server running Hyper-V.
    If you are using multicast, Check if IGMP Snooping is enabled i.e. Routers that support multicasting. In particular, Internet Group Membership Protocol (IGMP) snooping should
    be enabled on all devices. This will cause your network hardware to forward multicast packets only to those devices that are requesting data. If IGMP snooping is turned off, multicast packets are treated as broadcast packets, and will be sent to every device
    in the subnet.

  • Problem starting Repository Browser Service on Windows Server 2008

    Using the default Warehouse Builder installation in the 11g (11.1.0.7.0) databaseinstallation on a clean Windows Server 2008 64-bit installation.
    Warehouse Builder installed and populated ok, OWB client works fine etc.
    When trying to start the Repository Browser listener by running the startOwbbInst.bat, the OC4J container crashes with the following error in the \owb\j2ee\log\oc4j\log.xml:
    +<MSG_TEXT>Could not create Secure http listener due to {0}</MSG_TEXT>+
    +<SUPPL_DETAIL><![CDATA[java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Oracle\product\11.1.0\db_1\owb\bin\admin\..\..\j2ee\config\%ORACLE_HOME%\owb\j2ee\config\keystore.jks (The system cannot find the path specified)+

    (The local_service_login.bat works fine).
    We're starting this as an administrator user in Win2008.
    All parameteres in the setowbenv.bat seems to be correct as far as I can tell. There is a strange reference to %ORACLE_HOME% in the above log, of which I've no idea where it is coming from....
    Identical installation worked fine on a 64-bit Windows Server 2003, - so can this be something related to a new security model in Windows Server 2008?
    (I found a posting regarding problems with the startOwbbInst.bat on Vista  [here |http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=2275781&#2275781] - so maybe.... however, the quickfix mentioned there did'nt help us here...)
    Anyone experienced similar problems (and preferably solved them) on Windows Server 2008 and/or Vista?
    Regards,
    -Haakon-

    Solved this after some trawling through xml configuration files on the server.
    The file C:\Oracle\product\11.1.0\db_1\owb\j2ee\config\http-web-site.xml contains the reference to keystore.jks:
              <ssl-config keystore="*%ORACLE_HOME%*/owb/j2ee/config/keystore.jks" keystore-password="-&gt;keystoreadmin"/>
    changing this to:
              <ssl-config keystore="C:\Oracle\product\11.1.0\db_1/owb/j2ee/config/keystore.jks" keystore-password="-&gt;keystoreadmin"/>
    and the OC4J container starts successfully.

  • Extremely Slow Response when attempting to display files on Windows Server

    I have set up File Sharing on my MacBook Pro using SMB and defined the folders that are available to be shared. When I look at the Network Neighbourhood in Windows Explorer the Macbook appears listed with all the other PCs on the network. When I try to open the Macbook in Explorer it takes a very long time to open (about 2 minutes or so) and shows me the list of folders. When I try to open a folder the exact same thing happens - it opens after a couple of minutes, this continues for every folder that I try to open. I thought it might be that Explorer needed to "catalog" the files in the folders but the same thing happens each time - if I close the connection and try again it takes the same amount of time. What is very strange is that if I connect to the Windows Server from the Mac opening and looking at shared folders/files is instantaneous so clearly this is not a network problem. If I use the Win2K3 server to look at other computers/files the result is the same - instantaneous access, so it has nothing to do with the Win2K3 server - clearly the problem is with the MacBook serving up the file information to the Win2K3 server. I have tried with AFP on and off and the result is the same. The user name/pwd is the same on both the Win2K3 and the Macbook - and I have tried with a different username on the Win2K3 - no difference. Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?

    Yes they are on the same workgroup, on ethernet, plugged into the same switch. The Mac can read and copy files of the Win2K3 server with no problem. The problem is clearly at the Mac end as the Win2K3 server can view files on any machine on the network without the slow response, the Mac can view files on the Win2K3 server without the slow response, it is only when the Win2K3 server tries to view files on the Mac.
