Windows 7 & Server 2003 problems
Recently had all but one of our office computers upgraded to windows 7, all W7 computers see all of the shared and mapped drives on the server but have extreme lag when connecting to them. When working with Word, Access, Excel and PowerPoint in our MS Office 2007 opening and saving documents at times takes up to 3 minutes. The lone Vista machine in the office has zero problems, connects to all shared/mapped drives immediately and opens, edits and saves documents at the click of a mouse. We are very limited on configuration options since these are government computers with limited administrative capabilities. I may be able to provide our network maintenance folks some directions to head to fix this issue. Thanks.

Here are some more things you could try, depending on your administrative permissions: Disable Autotuning - open a Command Prompt and type the following: netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled Turn off (disable) the Windows Search Service in the Services console (don't uninstall it or some useful things will stop working.) This will only turn off the caching and indexing, not the service itself. And probably the best bet - make sure you have the latest network drivers from the chipset manufacturer's site (ie. Broadcom, nVidia, Realtek...), not Windows Update or the computer manufacturer's site as those tend to be out-of-date before they're even released.
