Slow copying to server, but not from server

[wtotten]

We are running Windows 2003 with AD. I have admin rights. When I copy data TO the server it takes longer than it should. When I copy from the server to a workstation, it's fast. From one partition to another on the server, it's fast. Any ideas?

Thnaks,
Bill

Have you tried it from multiple workstations? Are all the machines copying slowly to the server?

What are you NIC settings

 

[wtotten]

Yes, it does happen at different workstations. We have a mix of WIN98, WIN2000 and XP Pro.

The NIC settings vary, most are using only TCP/IP.

Full duplex or half duplex
and what about your switch

 

[wtotten]

Full duplex. But, everyone, let me reiterate, it copies TO the server slow. From the server is very fast. I don't think it has anything to do with the network infrastructure. It's something happening when Windows 2003 server has files written to it. I'm guessing it's some sort of AD or security issue. But, I don't know - that's why I posted this message.

Thanks,
Bill

Aggressive virus scanning of incoming files on the server?

 

[redlikeme]

I've had similar problems, but ONLY with WinXP TO the server (it's a well know MS problem, with solutions in their Knoweledge Base)

Are you having problems with WinXp only, or other platforms?

 

[wtotten]

Redlikeme,

My tech told me it was with various platforms, but I've only tried it on XP. DO you know of any specific KB articles that address this?

Dkediger,
No antivirus issue at all.

Thanks guys...
