Server2008SBS - Network Access Seems Slow
Last week we switched from a 10 year old server running Windows 2000 server to a brand new HP proliant server running Windows2008sbs. No hardware changes have been made in realtion to the network.
Since the switch things appear to be running slower than they were before. When i say slow, i mean user access to files appears to have slowed down somewhat.
The Server acts as 1. a domain controller and 2. a file server; so the users on the workstations (approx 20) are logging in and then accessing files (eg. excel, quark, word). Thats all we use it for (no exchange, SQL or anything else).
Really just wondering where we start at trying to investigage and resolve the issue.

What kind of antivirus are you using?
ASKER
We have McAfee installed on all the user computers
On the server too? Most lock up issues I have seen on SBS 2008 and above are AV related. Make sure you are using a version that is compatible. Make sure there are no known issues with SBS 2008.
Also did you set up SBS using the proper setup tools in the getting started area in the SBS console.

As far as i am aware sbs was set up properly - however not sure what i should now be checking for to make sure this is the case
You didn't answer the question about AV on the server.
Also ... are you running Office 2007 with Windows 7?
