Hi,
I did, I was going to update this after a few more tests but here is the
current situation.
MaxMpxCt is now 100 (default 10), MaxWorkItems is now 512 (default 64), and
the Size is now 2 (default was 1). These are located in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Lanmanserver\Parameters.
Adjusting there parameters did not change the Vista server behaviour at all.
I also tried adjusting NonPagedPoolSize to 40000000hex (default was 0) in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory
Management, but this did not help either.
The other links were also good but did not help me to solve this problem.
Anything else I can try? This feels a litttle bit stupid, quad-core 4GB
computer with 64-bit Vista Ultimate cannot serve single XP client doing heavy
disk operations over 100mbits local area connection. And this is about the
only problem there is, all the computers and the home network is operating
very nicely.
But the problem is very easy to repeat: reboot the server, start copying
10000+ little pictures (filesize ~10-200kB, resolution less than 1k*1k
pixels) from the XP client disk to the Vista server disk, and in a minute or
so the server dies to the XP client, all commands fail (dir z:, net use, net
view, etc.). But the Vista server continues to server another (Vista 64-bit)
client.
SHould I adjust Lanmanserver/Parameters Size to 3? The Vista server was not
used otherwise, then the XP client used the disk, to there was no other load
for it.
