Hi All,
I have a Windows 2008R2 file server at the far end of a WAN link. There
is a 20ms ping time between the workstations and the server. This is
pretty constant.
The file server contains a lot of Excel files. Different versions, some
with macros some without. Some files are quite
have you examined the slow files to see if they have links (DDE/OLE ?) to
other files across the wan. you may be loading a file that is loading
other files, just a thought

Sharing and checking the keep history' setting can cause the files to grow in
size, which could cause the issue.

The File Validation add-in is a major annoyance! We've removed it from our

I have a Dell M1000 chassis and it's full. Half of the blades are new. Half

others aren't. We found that with the file validation add-in it would cause

Hi Chris, do you mind me asking what plan you're looking at? I was thinking the same for a small business client, moving them from internally hosted SBS 2008 to 365 Plan E1 ($8/month/per user). I see the P1 or E3 plans too, but not sure if E3 is worth it for about 18 users.ThanksDon K
So if you need AD FS for single sign-on, how was the process?
This will be a poor technical explanation, but hopefully helpful:
We use SSO for our expense reporting, and how it works for us is we have an IIS
server that handles the SSO function via certificate with us and our vendor.

You should not be looking at SSO for just 10 users with office 365 as you

If a client is used to an SBS solution then they will expect something other
than public forum based support. We put clients on E-plans even for a single

they think they might grow then they need an E plan.
