I've got an issue with one or two users on a network who constantly complain of slow network file access, particularly in the afternoons.
The network currently comprises of two sites link via a VPN over an Enta ADSL connection. There are 4 files servers, two in each site, which use DFS-R on Windows Server 2003 R2.
Our hunch is that one of these users issue maybe that his workstation is trying to access a file/printer/something on the remote site when it shouldn't do. However without the correct tool we have no way of verifying this.
The main culprit application seems to be AutoCAD 2010 on Windows 7, both 64-bit. When the user saves or switches a file AutoCAD will hang for 5-30 seconds, like I said this only ever seems to happen in the afternoon.
