Version 5.7 performance issue

[jjohnson13]

Hello,

I just took over a sales department with GM ver. 5.7. (5 GM users).

They were on a Server 2003 domain. We took them down to a simple Workgroup with a file/print server.

Each workstation's desktop has a GM shortcut mapped to the GM EXE. All other network activity works great, however GM takes about 30 seconds to completely load, and working in it is slow. IE: 20 seconds to send an email.

Any help is appreciated.

On the peer-to-peer networks sometimes the traffic is to much. A work-a-round on your version would be to do Local Installs from the License Manger once GoldMine is open on the Workstation.

Thanks,

Your help is a goldmine to me.. Sorry about the pun.

If I understand you correctly, once GM is open on the workstation, there is a function (license manager) somewhere in the software to do a 'local install'?

I assume this would mean that the program would start and run locally, but also keep fresh with the database on the server?

I should mention that all PCs, server and switch are gigabit.

Also, I do not believe the office has done any database management. How critical is that?

what antivirus is in use? If it's Symantec (or anything with network scanning) you might want to check out this article:
