I have a file server (W2008 Server) and when I run a VFP program on my Terminal Server (W2008R2 server) using RDP I experience frequent random slowdowns, such as: -10-30 second slowdown where typed input stays in the keyboard buffer and eventually catches up. -occasional RDP timeouts for up to a minute where the keyboard buffer data is lost. The connection almost always reconnects after 1 or 2 retries.
Fred, is this similar to your 'server slowness'? I've never been able to determine if my issue is with the file servers, terminal server, my internet connection, the VPN, my local 32bit laptop, or all. I do not use VM's, these are separate boxes on the same gigabit switch. I use the VPN supplied with my SonicWall appliance.

That has all gone away with the W2019 servers (VM). We never have had a big issue with data corruption, I think only one file in over 10 years. Our system is about 30 users, 2 remote access through RDP and VPN.
