Q: Slow Connection to Yosemite Server
Hi guys,
Im running a small architectural office, which is currently experiencing slow connections to our local server, the initial connection will take at least 2 minutes and sometimes up to 5 minutes.
Once the server is connected and all mapped out it is generally ok.
However we previously did not experience this lag when running on OS X 10.9 (Mavericks Server).
The lag has occurred after upgrading the server to a new Mac Mini which came preinstalled with Yosemite, and thus was a complete new server (not upgraded, and not migrated from the old server using time machine). And leaves us with no option to downgrade software.
The office specs are as follows:-
OSX 10.10.1. Server Version 4, Server is running on a new Mac Mini (Late 2014) 2.6Ghz 8gb. 1TB.
Cat 6 cabling throughout the whole office.
Netgear switch (GS724T).
Approximately 10x 27” iMacs ranging from 2010 -2014 models on OS 10.9 (1 on OS 10.10). All users are experiencing the same issue.
The storage of all files on the server is approximately 200gb.
We are not using the server for anything but file sharing locally, and have unable all of the file sharing options other than file sharing.
The server is telling us we are connecting using smb.
Any advice on connection speeds will be greatly appreciated.
Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), Server 4
