Michel Roth has updated his article titled “Lanmanserver and Lanmanworkstation Tuning” on BrianMadden.com. In this article, Michel explains “…that fileserving can easily become a bottleneck if not configured properly, especially in Terminal Server environments.

To solve these performance problems, you sometimes have to tune the fileserver (lanmanserver) and the “fileserver-client” (lanmanworkstation). However, this isn’t for the faint of heart and can cause huge problems if you do it wrong. Unfortunately, documentation on these tuning parameters is rather scarce.”

I think this is a great article with lots of tips that are hard to find documented anywhere. For larger environments with lots of roaming profiles be copied in and copied out, I think this article will definitely help with tuning the file serving architecture.

Michel has also written two articles on MSTerminalServices.org about file serving in Terminal Server Environments. Be sure to check out Fileserving in Terminal Server Environments (Part 1) and Fileserving in Terminal Server Environments (Part 2).
