Accessing files from our Windows Server 2003 system is very slow, and it seems it has always been like this. However, doing a little research online I have stumbled upon a problem with using a single server as a domain controller and a file server. (

Looking into this a little more I researched on Microsofts web site and came upon this (
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328890). However, I did add the key and changed the value, and noticed no difference then went to this article which was referenced from kb/328890 (
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/815230). Being that the hot fix needed to be downloaded from Microsoft with approval first, I decided to call them to see if they could speed up the process and e-mail me the direct HotFix for this problem. So, without further ado, they e-mailed me the hotfix& for Service Pack 1& I called them back and explained I have Service Pack 2 installed. The Microsoft Rep then informed me that this hotfix has been applied in Service Pack 2.
After I added the key TcpAckFrequency to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\
CurrentCon
trolSet\Se
rvices\Tcp
ip\Paramet
ers\Interf
aces\<Inte
rface GUID>, and made the value 1, I still notice no difference.
Any thoughts of how to fix this problem? I need to speed up the file access between my Windows Server 2003 Standard Server and my Windows XP Professional workstations.
Thanks,
