    Thanks M@….funniest thing was I was reading that this morning and was thinking the exact same thing.

    I can attest to the problems as well. I put Snow Leopard on my machine today to test it out with this setup and wow, it was horrendously slow. You can’t even work with it.

    Sounds good. And again, I’ll be more than happy to work with them to show them what I experienced.

    Thanks!!

    Reid,

    Thanks for your reply on this. I’ve been working closely with Bashar during my time with ExtremeZ-IP and unfortunately, it didn’t end up working for us.

    On the server side, it always seemed to refresh the list of available servers in the DFS name space. It would do this at least 5 – 10 times a day. And when that was happening, I could never see the DFS namespace available through the widget and/or the client. Also, the service would need to be restarted a couple times a day, and with that, another refresh of the DFS name space would happen. Our environment is VERY large, and a refresh takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.

    Those were my real problems; I just couldn’t “use” it enough to say one way or another if it was reliable or not. When it worked, it was great; it just spent most of the time refreshing itself.
