1. Ensure Server 2008 is at the correct Service Pack level. For Windows Server 2008, this is Service Pack 2. For Windows Server 2008 R2, this is Service Pack 1 (at the time of writing). 2. Ensure that Windows 7 clients are on the correct Service Pack level. This is Service Pack 1 (at the time of writing). 3. Ensure SMB2 is *enabled* on Windows Server 2008. It will be enabled by default, unless it has been expressly disabled at some point. 4. Install hotfix Windows6.0-KB2635024-x86 on the Windows 2008 Server to address a file corruption bug in SMB2. 5. On each Windows 7 workstation, updated network drivers to most current version where needed. OEM-installed drivers from 2009 are not going to cut it! 6. On each Windows 7 workstation, configured network card to disable interrupt moderation if possible, and force to either 100Mbps or1Gbps Full Duplex (depending on network speed). 7. On each Windows 7 workstation, install hotfix Windows6.1-KB2618096-x86 to address another file corruption issue in SMB2.
