Re: Slow Domain



Was the original license you moved from Open License? If it was OEM you
couldn't have moved it at all. MS is fairly lenient when you call in for
activation if you have a good reason for needing to do it.

It isn't my first install but I am still new to SBS 2003. I would say I
have
installed it 2 other times. How many times can I reinstall SBS 2003 on
the
same machine with the same license? Would I run into activation problems?
I
was worried at first when they upgraded to this new server but I was able
to
activate it with no problems. I just don't want to mess up anything.

From this and your responses to Lanwench and Jim I have to ask if this is
your first SBS 2003 setup? If so you're probably doing yourself a
disfavor
by not having done at least 3 test installs before one for production as
SBS
is really a unique product. You must follow the integrated setup
completely
and use all the wizards.

Let me start off by saying that in no way am I an expert with SMS2003.
I
manage a small network with 5 workstaions, a couple of network printers
and 1
server running SMS2003. Over the weekend the company purchased a new
(used)
server. Basic specs: SuperMicro Superworkstation 8044A-8 with a Xeon
3.0GHz
processor 4GB RAM (2 x 1GB, 4 x 512MB), 4 x Seagate Ulta Wide SCSI 36GB
HDD
with OS loaded on 1 drive and a RAID 5 setup for data only on the other
3.
I
have a simple logon script batch file for the 5 users to map drives
(not
really sure if I did that correctly or not). All users are part of the
Domain Users group, and that group has full access to the data drive,
and
just inherited rights to the OS drive. The business is using AT&T DSL
internet with the AT&T modem doing the routing. All workstations have
static
IP with the server's IP address for the Default Gateway, and the DSL
modem's
internal IP address as the Primary DNS server.

When the users login to the domain, the programs are really slow to
access
and to swich back and forth, and users are complaining that they cannot
access the programs installed on the server sometimes. I disabled the
Norton
Antivirus auto-protect on the client's and server and 2 workstations
have
a
fresh install of Win XP Pro and the network programs.

When I log the users into their machines locally and just map a network
drive to the server, all the programs run much faster and. according to
the
users, the way it should run.

Can anyone give me some insight on why everything is slower when
authenticating to the domain? A second question that I might put in a
different post is the fact that I can not Remote Access my server. Any
help
would be appreciative.
