Slow network performance in Windows 2003 when using a network boot disk
I have a Windows 2003 server (ProLiant ML370R G4) that I use as a Ghost server. I am using Barts network boot disk with TCP/IP to connect to the share on the server.
I get very slow read performance when loading the image from the server (250MB/min) and normal write performance (650-700MB/min) when I save the image to the server. I have also tried to copy a 2GB file from the server to the local harddrive with the same result (10 min).
When I am using the same PC but with Windows XP it takes 1 min to copy the same 2GB file from the server.
Is this a TCP/IP problem or DOS client problem?
Regards,
Mattias

Re: Slow network performance in Windows 2003 when using a network boot disk
The port in the switch and the NIC are both set to auto. I am using the latest NIC driver from Broadcom, v7.65.

Re: Slow network performance in Windows 2003 when using a network boot disk
Can you provide us with more info? You said you use your Server as a Ghost server? Is it a Symantec Ghost Product?
Why aren't you using a Ghost boot disk? Is it because Ghost doesn't have your NIC driver?
It could be very possible a TCP/IP settings between the network boot disk and the server side?

Re: Slow network performance in Windows 2003 when using a network boot disk
I don't like to use the auto setting on servers, because different manufaturers have different standards when sensing network speeds. This can cause problems, setting them manually gets round this.

Re: Slow network performance in Windows 2003 when using a network boot disk
I have seen the same problem. I am in the process of replacing a Novell 5.1 server, that holds ghost images for downloads. Based on a single image download, It can average 460 MB/MIN from the Novell Server, using IPX. However, same image, switches,
it averages, 250-260 mb/min, using IP boot diskette. I decided to create an IPX boot diskette for the Windows 2003 server, an I'm currently averaging 370 MB/MIN. I am still working on improving the performance.
Not that I wanted to use IPX, but ... this
is what I came up with so far.
