Subject: [NTSysADM] Transfer to file server randomly pauses

I’m pulling my hair out over a devilish problem that’s holding up a fileserver 
migration.
Any advice desperately appreciated.

When you try to transfer files to the VM, the transfer just randomly pauses and 
un-pauses after a few hundred megabytes of each burst. The pauses last around 
15 seconds but can be a minute or more. It’s worse the bigger the file is.
2012 R2 server fully patched with 2 CPU & 5GB of RAM & 60GB system & 800GB 
storage on VMware backed by a SAN.

•         File transfer dialog on Windows 8 usually bottoms out at 0 bytes/s 
when this happens. Pausing or cancelling transfer on client doesn’t register 
until it un-locks.

•         Resource Monitor on server shows Disk as no activity when this 
happens except for maybe some random bursts

•         Happens with robocopy and xcopy as well as native Windows Explorer

•         Happens connecting from both 2008R2 and Win8.1 with different network 
paths.

•         Occurs when transferring to system drive or data storage drive.

•         NTFS/REFS doesn’t matter on storage drive

•         SMB signing is off

•         Absolutely nothing installed on the server. NOTHING. No roles. No 
extra features other than the GUI.

•         Pauses are worse the bigger the file is.

•         Data Deduplication and File Resource Monitor used to be installed, 
but they’ve been removed for troubleshooting.

•         Tried uninstalling SMB 1.0 on server

Again, ANY ideas or tips appreciated.

Thank you!
