Hi Everyone,
I have installed SBS 2008 Premium, but the system runs very slowly. By slowly I mean accessing say C or D Drive and waiting 5 seconds for each folder to open after you've double clicked it.
What is funny is that if you access a mapped drive to the server the access speeds are quite quick.
I checked whether write cache was enabled on the disk (which is a RAID Array) and it wasn't, so I enabled it via both Windows Device Manager and also the RAID Card (3Ware 9690SA-8I) web interface. I rebooted thinking this would fix the issue.
To my surprise after the reboot, the changes that I made reverted back to the disabled write cache setting.
I have also downloaded and run dskcache from Microsoft, which also netted the same results.
The machine Specs are as follows:
- Dual Xeon
- 12GB RAM
Is there any way I can enable Write Cache on the SBS Server? If you don't think it's the Write Cache could you point in the direction you think it is?
I have never seen this problem before, hopefully someone can has experienced this before and can help me out...
Thanks in advance...
