Hi,

This thread is a bit old but I hope my post might be useful.

I've had slow performance with Vista and Windows 7 to access SBS2008
server File Shares and got upset because Windows XP worked just fine!

After some while of troubleshooting and testing both clients and server
I finally solved the issue.
When creating Files Shares in SBS2008 (or W2K8) you can enable "access
based enumeration" and if you do the performance is drastically
decreased!
I just disabled "access based enumeration" and the performance of
copying files etc was increased!

Kind Regards,
raja

As far as I can see, this setting is not enabled by default, which is a good
thing, based on your experience.
