Hello Drew,
The past two months we have been searching for a
solution for this topic. We run Citrix Metaframe 1.8 on W2k TS and had lots
of performance problems. I sent some questions about this to the list, but got
no answers.
What we finally found that was causing the problem
is that we had our Internet Explorer cache on a network drive (NT 4.0 SP6
server). Putting this on a local drive gave an enormous performance
boost.
We still are having problems with the performance
to a Samba server. Indeed: there is only one daemon per W2k server. We modified
several registry settings and turn off oplocks on both the Samba machine and the
W2k servers, but it does not make any difference. On the Samba server (HP A400,
Hp-UX 11i, Samba 2.0.7) we see a lot of disconnects and reconnects. Why this is:
no answer from the list!
A way to force Samba to start more than one daemon
is using a lot of Netbios aliases for the same server. If you give every user an
alias for the service to connect, than every user gets its daemon. We have not
yet implemented this, so I don't know if there are any side-effects. I also
don't know if there is a maximum number of aliases.
I think that there are not that many sites where
they use W2k TS in combination with Samba. That this combination gives problems
is very clear to me. I think this is a pitty; we almost were thinking of
geting rid of Samba and implement a Windows 2000 File server ...
Kind regards,
Jan Mostert
