More Info:-
I am currently testing Vista in our XP Pro/2003 environment. The XP clients
perform perfectly in the same setup. We are using Netgear Managed Switches.
To give you an idea of what I mean by slow/fine. When working offline, Word
2007 (or example) will open in less than 2 secs. When working online it is
likely to take at least 10 secs. The HDD is busy continuously, slowing
performance to a crawl. Something else I have observed is that this High Disk
Activity does not start until all of the files that the user has chosen to be
offline have been downloaded into the cache as observed by Network
Utilization in task manager. I have a feeling the problem may lay in Vista's
background sync? All users are using roaming profiles (Stored on a seperate
server) and Folder redirection for all profile folders. Help Please.
