Hi
 
We are having a problem of excessive traffic from webservers to file server. 95% of the traffic is smb traffic around 10Mbps when we have 20 hits per second on webserver. 50% of SMB commands i can see from packet capture are NT TRANS, NT NOTIFY with SRT of 30 seconds even. I think these NT Notify are just to notify some process that X directory or Y file has been modified... Is it some default behaviour of IIS .We dont have any monitoring set in these webservers i.e to monitor for logs but still i am getting lots of NT NOTIFY for the log files which are in fileserver (being modified).
There are around 20 log files wirriten by different application accessing fileserver which are even not related to the web server but still i am getting notifications is this default IIS or SMB or .... behaviour to monitor file changes on mounted drives ....
