Slow file copy domain controller

It took over 3 minutes to copy. And took just as long for me to delete it. All from my PC. Make sure you get the up to date drivers for the broadcom NIC. The drivers that shipped with R2 have a problem with VMQ.

Turning it off was the short term solution to this. I had the same issue with a virtual machine until I installed the more recent broadcom drivers. My searching finally turned up a solution. I turned off VMQ. They said this is recommended for Broadcom adapters.

But is that the recommended method? OK to turn it off or is that a band aid? When was the last time you updated the firmware and drivers of the network card s on the host server? I had a similar issue in which this was the case. It didn't matter that the server was brand new. It helps to quickly restore a domain controller in event of failure and also it helps to deploy test environments easily when needed.

In previous, if you clone a domain controller, it will not allow to deploy on same domain or the forest without running sysprep to remove security information before cloning. Then afterwards you need to promote the domain manually. But now when clone domain controller it will do the sysprep and promote process automatically. For the demo purpose I am using a windows R2 domain controller which is deployed in Hyper-V environment. Select the DC needs to clone and right click to select properties.

This will check the system if there is program which will not compatible with the clone process. Also the computer name and site name. So before proceed make sure organization is aware about the downtime and the impact. Network speed is now blazing :.

However I had to enable both settings as other servers on my network had them enabled. Server is Windows Server Standard.

Client machines are Windows 10 Pro. Single Domain environment. Now for the bizarre issue, if the users are members of Enterprise Admin or Domain Admin the problem goes away. I've thought I've seen it all Doesn't seem to matter if it's in Office apps or not. It's slow just opening the mapped drive and browsing through the files and folders.

Also it's slow outside or inside Excel or Notepad. Copying file s using File Explorer is slow. Now using a Domain admin account, using the same PC, network connection and file share as the Domain user, the file opening closing, browsing, etc. Because of this, I've ruled out our Anti-virus because it uses it's own security polices and groups, no security groups within AD. Also ruled out hardware issues such as switching because of the speed of the file copies, opening and saving from a Domain admin account.
