Delyed Write Failure on mixed clients

[Michael A. Keller]

Has anyone using SBS 2003 had a problem with the clients machines reporting delayed write failures to an SMB share.
I have already forced speed and duplex settings on all of the clients and server. Tried both requiring SMB signing / not requireing SMB signing. Updated all machines to current levels. Check file permissions (file by file I might add), updated RAID drivers for the controller, and network controller.

Any help would be appreciated.

Check the netstat -s output.

Verify that you aren't getting packet errors, and verify the retransmissions.

Also, you could verify the switch, if it has some monitoring utility, and check for errors/collisions in the ports.
