I believe this could be due to anti-virus on your workstation which is scanning each files upon copy. &nbsp; Have you tried changing AV settings to see if it makes a difference.

From the server to the stations requires that the station be able to accept the files and that the network traffic is not bottlenecked. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
On the station(s) what does Task Man - Resource Manager tell you?<br />
<br />
Any chance nics are not full duplex?

I also have a &nbsp;NAS on the network and the file copy from the NAS to clients is fast, what one expect it to be. &nbsp;With this I would say either the AV or NICS at workstations are at fault. <br />

Server 2012 R2 File Copy

A server is a computer program or a machine that waits for requests from other machines or software (clients) and responds to them. This architecture is called the client–server model. The clients may run on the same computer or may connect to the server over a network. The purpose of a server is to share data or hardware and software resources among clients. Typical computing servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.

Server Software

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

The Microsoft Legacy Operating System topic includes legacy versions of Microsoft operating systems prior to Windows 2000: All versions of MS-DOS and other versions developed for specific manufacturers and Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions, and Windows Mobile.
