HyperV VMQ setting doesn't matter with 1g NICs.

It has mattered with 1 Gbps NICs just more with Broadcom devices.

This is provably false. You have said it repeatedly.
Yet I have posted clear proof in the previously linked thread.

No, what matters is the NIC setting, not the HyperV setting.

I know for a fact it doesn't matter with 1G NICs.
You are talking about the setting in the NIC properties. I'm not. I'm talking about the setting in the HyperV VM Settings.

That's different.

Even if it doesn't matter. I have run the powershell command and it's still running slow. Any other ideas?

Is it slow accessing the application via IP and DNS?
-
The way the app is installed is that essentially all the server is doing is hosting a file share. You place a shortcut to the .exe file on the desktop.

Is the shortcut path and target starts with
\\ip-address\... or \\dns\...? -
Got it! I have tried both. No noticeable change.

Tried disabling antivirus and maybe firewall on the workstation that is accessing the application?

@black3dynamite I should have by now, but no. Let me give that a shot.

I would then try accessing via IP and DNS to confirm if that helps too.

can you elaborate this bit. where the application files reside?! when you say access app via netwrok are you talking about a client server topology or are you doing something more exotic?!

Files are on a server (Hyper-V in this case). Quite literally on each desktop you navigate to the UNC path and do a right click on the main exe and choose send to desktop.
It seems fast when they are closed, but slow when they are open (and everyone is using it). They only have 9 PC's however. The server is way above min and even recommended spec's for the software.
Their network switch is a Netgear GS748Tv5 and I upgraded the FW to the latest version.
-
@ccwtech Is it the initial launch of the application that is slow or the navigation within the application? I assume this behavior happens on every computer? Are they all hardwired or wireless? Can you run an extended ping (ping -t) to the application server from a computer having the issues and make note what the response times are after hours vs. during hours. If you attempt to copy some files from the same UNC path the main exe is at to a temp folder on the local pc, what kind of file transfer speeds are you seeing?
-
Turning off firewalls and AV had no impact.
Initial launch and the app while in use is slow.
All PC's are impacted. All are hardwired 1 Gig cards and switches. Replaced all switches except the main switch
A ping -t shows <1 ms day or night
Transfer speed of a folder with files (about 300 Meg) is about 20 MB/s
I appreciate everyone's help here. It sucks when you set up a brand new server for a client and they want their 10 year old server back.

What OS was on the old server vs the new one? Wondering if it may be an SMB issue if they are going over a UNC path?
