Hi,
Am new to the forum and seeking guidance, by trade I am a Microsoft / VMware specialist. Alpha / apps / databases... not my expertise.
I have a client who I upgraded from SBS2003 to a Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V host running virtual Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain Controller with a Windows Server 2008 R2 application server to host Alpha Five. Their business heavy relies on this application. All workstations are running Windows 7 x64.
Alpha Five is accessed via a file share on the application server. I believe Network Optimisation is configured on most of the clients.
Since the system has been upgraded, the performance has been dreadful, we have not had much luck with out Alpha programmer to troubleshoot the issues and it's been going on for way over a year now, to the point it is disrupting my clients business and causing me a dreadful headache.
The strange thing is, I just had 10 days of the application running the fastest it has ever been, then it fell over again. All network switches and cabling has been replaced. If I copy a file from the network share to the client I got approx. 30/40mbs. All other applications on the servers run flawlessly.
Last night I disabled SMB2 and oplocks on the server, I am currently in the process of disabling oplocks on the clients and getting them to test, my initial tests last night still were not impressive compared to running the database directly from the server.
There could be as many as 7 users accessing at any one time. Any help or guidance would really, really, really be appreciated..
Many thanks - Chris
