You might have to disable server and client op-locks. Seems like a lot of Sage's non-sql products use older database technologies (like MAS90, & MasterBuilder), that don't like newer op-lock technologies. In the past, I have had to do this to most of the 2003 servers I have installed/setup/

They claim that occasionally the performance between the TS and the server is poor (only in Sage Line 50) is there any tweaks that anyone can recommend that would improve the file access performance. I have tried disabling SMB sigining, and others which have stopped the application freezing but it still slows down considerably. If 1 or 5 users on the system most invoices take 10 -30 secs to generate and print but theres maybe 4 out of 15 that take 3 minutes plus, and whilst these are taking so long Sage stops working for everyone else, as for some reason only known to them their multiuser software relies on 1 file to control whos doing what an if on users process ties this file up everyon else stops when the need to access it. Hope i made myself clear but its driving the client and us nuts, SAGE just say its an environmental issue, but there is many references to similar things on the net, with workstations as opposed to TS, and 2003 TS, which I have tried but still the problems persist which is why i think it may be specific to 2008.
