As far as I know windows disables (or disabled) several forms of disk caching on the disk that contains the active directory/domain controller data store. However the last time I did anything actively with domain controller servers was in the Windows Server 2000/2003 era, so it is possible this has changed. This has a negative impact on the performance of a lot of other applications including Firebird databases, so it is (was?) advisable to not do anything else with the domain controller; or make sure the other applications were run from a different disk, and that that disk did have disk caching enabled. However if you want clearer answers you should ask a clearer, better defined question. Mark
