Windows 10 clients with WinServer2014

[Chris Henschen - Henschen and Associates, Inc.]

Nancy,
	We have run into speed issues with Samba 4 and windows 10 machines
cause of caching issues.  Appears windows 10 caches items in the map
locations so it doesn't see them immediately.  By changing the registry
entry for DirectoryCacheLifetime we saw a notable speed increase in
non-filepro items.  You might want to try that on a couple of machines and
see if this might help you.  If you cut the below lines and put them in a
update.reg file you could just run this on each machine is what we ended up
doing.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Para
meters]
"DirectoryCacheLifetime"=dword:00000000


Thanks,

Fellow Filepro users,

Has anyone run across settings for Window10 clients that must be set or
changed to improve I/O speed when writing to a WinServer Drive?

We have a network which has and is working wonderful with Win7 clients and
they are trying to change to Win10 clients and the difference in speed makes
the Win10 clients nonfunctional for filePro.

I remember caching was an issue in earlier versions but I have no idea what
other data to provide or what to ask the hardware guy to help them get the
bottom of this.

All the computers are virtual, to the best of my knowledge.

It is certainly an I/O issue between win10 and the server but I need some
suggestions.

Nancy
