I read many articles with this problem but I never found the solution.
We work a lot with many 500k excel files for our quotations for our
customers.
Before, all this excel files was on a XP workstation. The time for the
saving of one excel file was 3 seconds.
Since we transfert all the excel files on the windows 2003 file server
it takes now 9 seconds.
I made a test on my Windows 2000 server and it takes 3 seconds like the
xp workstation.
So it exist really a problem with the 2003 server.

I know that's probably a patch but for now I am completely upgraded.
Windows server 2003 ibm xseries 226
-Gigabit networking
-cpu Xeon 3ghz
-2g memory
-raid 5 with 4 disk sata 160g

I try to change this regedit keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\<¬interface>

Value Type: REG_DWORD-Boolean
Value Name: TcpAckFrequency
Value: 1 instead of the default 2

and

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Parameter¬s
: EnableSecuritySignature and RequireSecuritySignature to 0

without success.

Thank you for any idea !

Are there any Event log errors? Any 3rd party software installed on the 2003
DC?

No sorry.
I read your suggestion but nothing is for my case.
It's really a windows 2003 server only.
If I work with excel files on a XP workstation or a Windows 2000 server
it takes 3 seconds.
But If I work on my Windows 2003 server it takes 9 seconds.
My Windows 2003 server don't have any anti-virus software and I
installed only Veritas remote server agent, Powerchute and Symantec
Ghost.
I need to find a regedit key or a windows patch to resolve this
problem...
I try this article
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.server.networking/browse_thread/thread/abb0f143576ebdca
without succeed.

thanks

Yep, that was our thread here.

I know that reg key that you previously mentioned governs SMB signing. But
keep in mind, the Default Domain Controller GPO will overwrite that when
applying. So let's take a loog at this article and see if it helps setting
it at the Def DC GPO:
