Some language in KB834350 say 10 in decimal. The English say 10 in hex. Please make corrections.

How does this post apply to Vista with SP2 if at all?

I ask since we're getting slow response and sometimes time outs when saving to a local location (Group policy is redirecting folders to a network share) - intermittently about 1 or 2 times a week on different PC's (among 10 Vista PC's connected to a SBS 2008).

Looked in Technet, Vista Froums and Server forums and came up with others asking questions but no posts to a solution.

KB 834350 listed a decimal value in error and will be updated shortly.

A question regarding InfoCacheLevel, in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/834350/ (Windows XP) it says that it should be 10 decimal (0xa), but in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/843418 (Windows 2000) it should be 16 decimal (0x10).

This page says "InfoCacheLevel"=dword:00000010.

Is there a value difference between Windows XP and Windows 2000?

I have created a group policy template (ADM file) to facilitate configuring the settings mentioned in the article. It can be found here:

I have a couple of ACER computers running XP pro on a brand new SBS netowrk. all machines are local on gigabit connections.

Eveything is up to date with MS patches and autoupdates...

The acer computers take upward of 5 minutes to copy a 5 mb file from the server, but can copy files from other workstations instantly, and can write files to the server instantly.

All data being read from the server is super slow, only on these 2 workstations.

I am searching for a cause related to SMB signing but that dosent seem to be the case.

can anyone help?
