@dashrender On the RDS it's just a path off of the drive C:\Data\program.exe (with the exe and all data)
For non-rds it's the \servername\data\program.exe
so you are using a drive letter on RDS. It's only support that's being a pain about this.
If you connect to \servername\data\program.exe while on the RDS server, does it become slow?
Nope. Works great.
Remind me - Hyper-V 2016? RDS on Window Server 2016?
Yes

Nope. Works great.
Is it slow for PC (SMB Share) users right now?
Yes

That's odd. That means that either it is not loading into memory or the PCs themselves are what is slow.

Odd to say the least. Their system requirements are low, we even purchased a new PC (for one of the workstations) to see if that would help.
The new PC is a I5-7400 CPU 2.4 Ghz with 8 GB Ram so it is more than sufficient.

I can try that, but how would that be different than running it on the other VM (Server 2016) that is the DC?

Well if its still slow when trying to access the application from the DC too then never mind my previous response. Just wondering if its a hardware or driver issue on those workstations.

That's the $1,000,000 question...

It would not hurt to set up a Windows workstation as a VM and do a test to make sure that you’re not having some kind of problem with that Windows server vm

I'm willing to try almost anything right now. I just was wondering what that would show... Booting up a VM shortly.
-
@dashrender I have set up another VM (In this case Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with SP1)
It's slow on this machine as well.
Anything outside of the VM where this app runs is slow (virtual or physical machines).
I haven't enabled SMB 1, does that need to be done on the VM and Physical machine?
-
Ideally you'd want to use the very latest SMB protocol. But that doesn't appear to be the issue regardless.

Ok, it had been suggested here.
I'm just looking for anything else to try at this point.
-
Maybe there is a DNS issue and things are stalling on resolution?

@scottalanmiller said in Network setup - Hyper-V:

It was still slow via IP too.

Oh, so much for that theory.

I forgot Windows 2016 includes Windows Defender now. Try accessing the application with Windows Defender turned off on the server.

While this shouldn't be the case, why not try it. Windows 10 1709 does have SMB v1 disabled by default, so you'd have to do both Server 2016 and Win 10 1709. I'm not sure if a WIndows Update turns it off on any other Windows desktop or server version.
-
Since the host is a a full install of Windows Server 2016 - make a copy of the data folder and map it to a workstation and see what happens as another test.

@ccwtech said in Network setup - Hyper-V:
Their network switch is a Netgear GS748Tv5 and I upgraded the FW to the latest version.
Can you show us the config of the switch for the ports the server is plugged into, as well as one of the PCs?
