So XP machines for example will always use SMB v1. Windows 7 connected to Server 2008 or later will use SMB2. Windows 8 connected to Server 2012 will be SMB3, or SMB2 if connected to earlier than Server 2012. SMB2 is (these days) generally not an issue assuming clients and server are up to date in terms of service packs and Windows Updates. On a couple of occasions I have had to apply the Microsoft Enterprise Hotfix Rollup to all Win 7 and Server 2008 machines on a network to stop spurious file accessing errors but I've never seen speed problems like the ones you mentioned. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
