We have a network of about 6 workstations, and we have a server 2012 r2 setup. The machine is setup with Hyper-v and we have a virtual server which is the DC, DHCP SERVER, DNS SERVER. On this server we shared a folder called DMPRO which contains an inventory software. Well access to this inventory software is very laggy. After a continuous ping on the virtual server I saw that the ping time ranged from 65MS to 180MS. Now the server itself pings at a 1MS.<br />

I don't often use Virtual Machines, but what is best practices to ensure optimal speed in this case?

Connection to a virtual server ping results pretty slow - Best Practices

Microsoft Virtual Server was a virtualization solution that facilitated the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Virtual machines are created and managed through a web-based interface that relies on Internet Information Services (IIS) or through a Windows client application tool called VMRCplus. Features included Linux guest operating system support, Virtual Disk Precompactor, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), x64 host operating system support, the ability to mount virtual hard drives on the host machine and additional operating systems support, including Windows Vista, and a volume shadow copy writer.

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
