<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
So I had 2 windows server 2003 enterprise servers that were having hardware issues (one was a dc hosting a network application and the other was a terminal server for some thin clients). &nbsp;I decided to purchase a new server with 2011 SBS w/ Hyper-v R2 on it. &nbsp;I P to V the two windows 2003 servers and added them to hyper-v. &nbsp;I created their own network in the network manager and life was good. &nbsp;I am noticing that the software that is running on the main virtual dc is a little slow on physical workstations. &nbsp;On the terminal server the application is super fast and opens with no problem.<br />
<br />
To do another test I took a 300mb file on one of the workstations and transfered it to the virtual 2003 dc and it took about 30 seconds. &nbsp;When i transfer a file from a workstation to the hyper-v server it takes 10 seconds. &nbsp;It seems that there is a slight network delay when talking to the 2003 dc that is in hyper-v. &nbsp;Any suggestions to speed it up? &nbsp;I checked the network card and it isn't setup as a legacy network card.

Slow File Transfers in Hyper-V R2

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
