>My department just migrated to NTServer form Novell and I have a question about performance. We have a Compaq 200Mhz server with 64 meg ram and 8 gig HD, Ntserver 4.0 w/service pack 3. The weird thing is that our old 486 66Mhz 64 meg ram compaq running novell seems faster when running my VFP 5.0 app when compared to the new NTServer. This server is running as a BDC in a medium size domain structure and I currently have 20 users on the system at any given time. My exe is run from the workstations which access the data on the server. Are there some basic suggestions that someone could offer me to optimize this new NT box to run applications faster.

Double check the System Performance Virtual Memory:

Initial Size of NT System is 64 MB
Maximum Size should be a bit lesser that doubling the Initial Size say 114 MB

Current Registry size 4
Maximum Registry should be 13 or 14

Also, do not activate any Screen Saver which are not NT compatible on the Server.
