I have a poser here.
We are running 2008 R2 on DC, no problems.
Running 2008 std on application server, running fine... except...
On boot, if I don't login (just let it sit on login screen), I get a LAN SPEED TEST of 80mbs, read and write.
However AFTER logging in, test runs at 20mbs!
Obviously, a service or process is seriously curtailing LAN performance ONLY after login. Any ideas what I should be looking for?
I am using the LAN SPEED TEST prog from a client. To the DC I get around 53mbps R/W, which is normal. To the APP server is where i get the goofy speeds before and after login. Here is some data:
WhatsRunning doesnt show any rogue processes or services hogging bandwidth. Its pretty standard. I did run some speed tests of various configurations if it helps you help me narrow down the culprit:
[APPSVR=troubled 2008 server, DC=domain controller, XP1 & XP2=xp pro clients, WIN7=win7 client. All clients are admin members of domain. Running speed test from -> to other computer, W=write R=read, - AVG OF 3 TESTS, 20MB FILE, W & R IN MB per sec).
(APPSVR IS LOGGED IN WITH DOMAIN ADMIN)
APPSVR -> XP1 = 34W 25R
APPSVR -> XP2 = 30W 25R
APPSVR -> WIN7 = 56W 25R
XP1 -> APPSVR = 24W 26R
XP2 -> APPSVR = 24W 26R
WIN7 -> APPSVR = 26W 67R
XP1 -> DC = 42W 70R
XP2 -> DC = 40W 70R
WIN7 -> DC = 6W 85R (YES 6 mbps, i need to look at this too)
XP1 -> XP2 = 78W 81R
XP2 -> XP1 = 76W 81R
Simply logging out of APPSVR doesnt seem to affect anything. I must restart the APPSVR and then NOT log in. Here are the speed test results of that:
(BEFORE APPSVR IS LOGGED IN)
XP1 -> APPSVR = 82W 81R
XP2 -> APPSVR = 84W 81R
WIN7 -> APPSVR = 87W 85R
Its obviously something in the APPSVR user login process slowing it down. Perhaps the Microsoft Mgmt Console? AntiV settings that kick in after login? I don't know. maybe i am missing something.
