Files Delay in Showing in Network Share

-

so here issue.  have users running win 7 , win xp saving files windows 2008 sp2 file server.  have been having sporatic issues files taking 10-15 mins show in shares.  while file "missing", if go directly file server via rdp or server console, file physically there.  now, through testing have found simple refresh of screen doesn't work.  browsing share via unc or mapped folder doesn't matter.  way file appear earlier if computer file "missing" create new file, or folder, , refresh folder, file appears.  have checked via command prompt, while file "missing" explorer, missing comand prompt too.  end users have been telling me about month , until tonight, after have spent 3 hours troubleshooting, thought end user error.  can tell, actuall issue file sever.  see if perform same procedure, use network share on different server, files never go "missing".  when save our windows 2008 sp2 file server, , doesn't matter share save to, or user @ server with.  have been able replicate issue domain admin account.  @ witts end here, appreciated.

okay, problem fixed of ms support.  smb2.0 issue appears.  disabling it, isn't right call.  need add registry keys force smb2.0 refresh screen quicker.  here keys:

*as always, edit registry @ own risk*


hkey_local_machine\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanworkstation\parameters



1.directory cache, setting "directorycachelifetime" zero.


2.file not found cache, setting "filenotfoundcachelifetime" zero.


3.file information cache, setting "fileinfocachelifetime" zero.

after adding these entries, reboot machine , try again.  did client machine having issues viewing network share.  didn't file server itself.

hope can else runs obscure issue.

i have pc has power settings pushed out default domain policy in ad environment. of course on local machine "some settings managed system adminstrator". the machine temporarily no longer in contact domain controller (it's been physically moved , not on same network now) can't updated gpo settings. i believe if edit local group policy won't make difference because of group policy processing , precedence. since it's temporary away ad network, still want use settings of ad user. is there somewhere in registry stored can edit power plan manually until can sync domain? (i need prevent sleeping while plugged in - it's set 1 hour) thanks! allen crist i found site: http://gpsearch.azurewebsites.net/#7916 i able add policy to hkey_local_machine\software\policies\microsoft\power using specs found on site. looks solved issue. i'll report if didn't. thanks! allen crist ...
