Shareing Windows iSCSI volumes best practices

Asked by The_Master_Chief in Storage Technology, Computer Servers

Tags: ISCSI

I have a an environment that has a Win2K3 domain controller that has four iscsi volumes mapped to it using a software iscsi initiator.  The SAN is a 12TB Equilogic (don't remember the model).  All users access these four drives via UNC path or drive mapping back to the shares on the domain controller.  The network speed is 1 gigabit.  
I am hearing complaints due to "slowness"  I have not been here long but have concerns about accessing iscsi volumes that are mapped from a domain controller.  Please let me know if there are any reasons NOT to have it set up this way.  If this setup is not advisable, please provide a better solution.
