Windows 2008 file copy slow
Try to disable the SMB2 on both the servers and monitor the speed. Suggesting this to you because the network devices between the Win2k8 servers may not be aware of the SMB2. Regards, Rajesh.

Make sure you update the drivers. After collecting the netmon trace you need to have the knowledge to understand the SMB dialects if not you might find tons of SMB frames but you would not know where to start reading it.

Wondering if folks smarter than I am know the magic answer that makes this go away. I never used to worry about this stuff until bit Windows came along.
I also have a problem on the server I'm making a virtual copy of with SQL Server memory usage, but that seems to have stabilized. Just bumped into this post while looking into a VMware issue but anyways I had this problem with Windows Standard x I was in talks with MS Support about this and they had nothing and I found this fix in a random post!
