>Very interested in any responses to this point. We have an app in a situation where Senior Management loves us and Network Administrator hates us. Tables are not particularly large (nothing over 10MB). Uses a lot of .jpegs (nothing over 300KB). NT Servers are closed to us. We know LanDesk is running on all workstations but it is locked so we cannot see what it is scanning. It is probably also set up to scan hard drives on the server. We believe that Network Admin is purposefully using LanDesk to slow down our app. Does anyone know if there is a way to test (from a workstation) what is being scanned?

My condolences - people problems are *ALWAYS* worse than system problems. The net admin can hurt you bad if s/he wants to.

About all I can suggest in your case is:

1. See if by booting in "Safe" mode, LANDesk is not loaded.
2. If 1. is true, install your app locally (including data), boot in Safe mode, run the app, generate some speed figures. Or if you could boot in Safe mode with network support, that would be good too.
3. Repeat with a normal boot with LANDesk loaded, see if your app is slower.
