Re: Client performance problem windows 2003 server...

Hi Perra,

Glad to hear from you.

I noticed that you mentioned that when the connection between the two sites
is terminated, the clients at site B becomes extremely slow to logon and
even to access the local server at site B.

Do you mean only when the connection between two sites is terminated, the
clients in Site B log on very slow?

Meanwhile according to the clients¡¯ DNS and WINS settings in Site B, I
suggest you only set the Primary DNS and WINS to point to Win2k3 server to
see if it works.

Please try it and collect the information I requested in my previous reply
and send to me at v-amanwa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Anything update, please keep in
touch.

Thanks & Regards
