How many clients on each end? Is the performance slow when looking for resources on the other end or is even FTP performance slow? Are you mapping drives across the WAN? Printing across it? Do you have folder replication other than \NETLOGON shares? Do Event logs show any timeouts or other issues? Is there a time of day that's better/worse than others?

T1 utilization averages 25%. Windows 2000 users at both sides need to be able to access and update Win 2000 Server file resources at each other site (word, project, excel, some access db < 50MB). Performance now sucks. clients lock up at worst, or waist time significant amounts of time at best. We're seriously considering getting a point-to-point T1 between the locations (SF and Minneapolis), but this is quite expensive and I'm not fully convinced it will solve the issue. I think it's more of a data management/replication issue, but I'm not as keen on recent solutions/wisdoms that may be out there. Any ideas on ways to improve from the forum? Relatively inexpensive products that might help manage this behind the scenes? I'm open to very creative solutions if there are any. Thanks for any pointers!
