[Samba] Samba 3.3.4 - Win7 Latency with MS Office files

Folks,

I am running a 3.3.4 version of Samba ( stand alone) on Solaris 10
configured to auth against LDAP for user auth and have recently,
after migrating a variety of user desktops to Win7 and MS Office
2010, began seeing an increased latency in opening files. ie
previous 3" times are now 30-45 "

Users were previously running WinXP and using MS office 2007.

Question: Is an upgrade to the latest stable 3.x Ver likely to
resolve this OR am I also missing some more stringent security
settings I need to address b/c of Win7 ?

Any ideas or clues appreciated.

-john

Did you try enabling the name service caching daemon on the server?
(has its pros can cons.)

I would also try XP+Office 2010 and WIn 7+ Office 2007 to see if you can
shake out which is the actual problem.

Also, can you configure office to store temp files on the local PC, and
not the same directory as the office file is located.
