Network setup - Hyper-V

It would not hurt to set up a Windows workstation as a VM and do a test to make sure that you’re not having some kind of problem with that Windows server vm
I'm willing to try almost anything right now. I just was wondering what that would show... Booting up a VM shortly.
-
@dashrender I have set up another VM (In this case Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with SP1)
It's slow on this machine as well.
Anything outside of the VM where this app runs is slow (virtual or physical machines).
I haven't enabled SMB 1, does that need to be done on the VM and Physical machine?
-
Ideally you'd want to use the very latest SMB protocol. But that doesn't appear to be the issue regardless.

Ok, it had been suggested here.
I'm just looking for anything else to try at this point.

Maybe there is a DNS issue and things are stalling on resolution?

It was still slow via IP too.

Oh, so much for that theory.

I forgot Windows 2016 includes Windows Defender now. Try accessing the application with Windows Defender turned off on the server.

While this shouldn't be the case, why not try it. Windows 10 1709 does have SMB v1 disabled by default, so you'd have to do both Server 2016 and Win 10 1709. I'm not sure if a WIndows Update turns it off on any other Windows desktop or server version.
-
Since the host is a a full install of Windows Server 2016 - make a copy of the data folder and map it to a workstation and see what happens as another test.

Their network switch is a Netgear GS748Tv5 and I upgraded the FW to the latest version.
Can you show us the config of the switch for the ports the server is plugged into, as well as one of the PCs?

@ccwtech , what kind of file transfer speeds are you seeing?
I was wondering this as well. That will rule out the application or point to another problem.

@ccwtech said in Network setup - Hyper-V:
Transfer speed of a folder with files (about 300 Meg) is about 20 MB/s
20 MB/s which seems VERY slow to me.

Is that with IP or DNS?

DNS I will try via IP

The implementation of VMQ was rolled out so badly.
I ranted on it in a thread more than a year ago.
https://mangolassi.it/topic/8358/i-hate-vmqYou can disable it on the NICs quite easily.
Get-NetAdapterVmq | Disable-NetAdapterVmqIf you haven't done this, I'm going to suggest this again. Run it on the Hyper-V host. I've seen this clear up issues on both Intel and Broadcom chips.

Yeah, 160 Mb/s on a 1 GB line, that is pretty slow.

I know I've suggested running this several times since it was first mentioned.
How about showing the output forGet-NetworkAdapterVmq -

Actually, that's not all that bad. SMB is insanely chatty.

I can typically transfer over 500 Mb/s on my network between Win10 and Server 2012R2.
