The situation in my opinion is: Leave SMB and caching settings alone.
There were issues with Server 2008 at one point which have long since been fixed, however you should install the Enterprise Hotfix Rollup on Server 2008 and Windows 7 to avail of further fixes to SMB which you will not have gotten via the Windows Update route. We do not see index corruption issues or similar with the above in place. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm On Mon, 9 Mar 2015, at 09:07 AM, Chris Davis wrote: > Morning All > > Could I raise this old chestnut please. > > Just looking really for what's considered the correct configuration for > Windows Server 2008/2012. > > We have been for a while disabling SMB2 and in general this seems to > remove any issues. > > Although we have one site which despite this still seems to have regular > index corruption. > > Any thoughts? > > Thanks > > Chris. > > ______________________________________________________________________ > This email has been scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service. > For more information please visit http://www.symanteccloud.com > ______________________________________________________________________ > > --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- > multipart/alternative > text/plain (text body -- kept) > text/html > --- > [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ 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.
