I wanted to see what would happen if i unplugged the network cable on one of my DFS servers today (i have one server in each site, and have 7 sites). when i unplugged it i noticed that i could still access the namespace but it was REALLY slow and caused explorer to freeze for long periods of time. i am using 2008 r2 for all of my servers and it's in 2000 mode. any ideas what could be causing the severe slowdowns? (we have a 1gb connection to the nearest DFS server that exists in another site (WAN) but it is still really slow...
Yeah Buddy!
