And I would run some perfmon captures to see where the problem really lies. It sounds more like it could be a disk subsystem speed issue, where you might need faster drives or to break up the data onto multiple spindle sets.

I have a Server 2003 SP3 Enterprise Ed with 4 Gig Ram 1.04TB diskspace. There are 968,462 files and 22709 directories 406 Gig Disk Space used I have a share folder named Share1 that I grant Traverse/List/Read rights to to all groups that need access to multiple Shares under Share1 Whenever I need to change security rights on Share1 the server becomes extremely slow to respond to requests, causing many systems to give the message that the network resource is unavailable. I can't change the setup of the server as this is for production systems that must keep running. What if anything can I do to resolve this slow response time? Due to budget constraints I can't just throw more RAM into it. ________________________________ With Windows Live for mobile, your contacts travel with you.
