Hi everyone, I’m encountering something odd and hoped someone else out here has seen the issue and know of a workaround. We’re upgrading systems to Windows 8.1 at remote sites that only have a Windows 2003 file server they’re connected to. Apparently there’s a known issue doing this that causes everything on the workstation to just slow to a crawl, with the fix being to disable the autotuning level.
I’ve created a blank package in SCCM 2012 R2 with just the program command “netsh int tcp global autotuninglevel=disable” in it. After it runs the settings are good and performance noticeably better, but after a reboot the settings go away and user is back to a crawl. Run the same command from an admin account on the system and the settings stick after reboot. I could just create a task sequence with the command line to run as another user, bypassing the LocalSystem account, but was hoping someone out there knew of a better option. Thanks, Richard Poole
