How to fix a horribly slow RDP session with Vista
More Windows Vista Goodness!
So I am trying to work on my
latest LINQ project using SQL2005 and the .NET 3.5 framework (feeling uber-geekish) and I have a
test machine for it running Windows Server 2003 that I thought I would
just RDP into it but the performance was wretched. So of course I
dorked around with all the RDP settings I could find and nothing
worked. If I used another workstation with good ol Windows XP on it, it
was fine. So after a bunch of googling I came across a post that had
the fix. (Thanks to zekefive whoever you are!)
1) create a shortcut to the cmd.exe
2) give the shortcut privileges to run as admin
3) when you click the shortcut, and you get your cmd prompt type
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
Hope this works for you like it did for me.
