I passed the MS KB reference to the Windows Sysadmin. In our case, updating the network card drivers was sufficient to resolve the problem.

I didn't see if the problem was resolved, but here is a fix if it wasn't. Thanks, Kelly Lipp CTO STORServer, Inc. 485-B Elkton Drive Colorado Springs, CO 80907 719-266-8777 www.storserver.com From: Ron Pavan Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2008 10:28 AM To: Bill Smoldt; Dean VanderDoes; Diane Sullivan; Glenn Brennan; James Amend; John Stephens; Kelly Lipp; Mike Swartz; mod; Ron James; Ron Pavan Subject: Slow Transfer Speeds After 2003 SP2 upgrade Some of you might have seen this already but I know I had not. Here is a link to a MS article that explains the fix/workaround for poor network performance on a server after SP2 was installed. I worked with Argonne on an exchange backup problem where performance was 2 Mb/sec from the exchange server. I was able to track this back to starting on May 29th (the same day they did and SP2 upgrade). They implemented this KB article on the Exchange server and the transfer speeds are now back up between the 50-70 Mb/sec range. Just thought I would share it in case you run into something like that. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936594 DISCLAIMER: This message is intended for the sole use of the addressee, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
