Windows 7/CIFS

Question

have some new Windows 7 64 bit workstations that cause the following
problems:
Most of my Netware is gone, but the server that remains runs CIFS.
Without the client, file access is slow and can't run executables from the
shares.
With the client, users get frequent account lockouts.
Client is 2 SP1.
Any ideas?

Answer 1

Thanks! I'll check those out.
