Chris, It may well be worth looking at the network card speed setting on the clients and rather than having "auto-negotiate" on the card, default it to the LAN speed you want to use. We found this speeded up the network traffic considerably.

Thanks Peter.
We are not getting any index corruption just speed issues.
The network connection is a team running at 3 gig.
Users are complaining that forms are taking upto 10/15 seconds to load when they use to take a few (we have tested this and they are right).
They are also seeing dropdown boxes that are being populated with values (like the Purchase Orders when posted a receipt in POP) taking 15 seconds before it appears.
The exact same setup on the old servers (again a server and rds setup) is significantly quicker.
Thanks
Chris.

Thanks for the replies, yes we used to disable SMB2 to remove the index corruption issue but this now seems to be a performance issue.
This particular scenario is 2 brand new Server 2012 boxes, fully patched. One is the server and one is a remote desktop box. So far nothing has been messed with or tweaked.
An application which used to run fine on the older servers now runs a lot slower, the application in question is Pegasus Opera 3 which I know some of you are familiar with.
We had some index corruption problems a few years ago and found it was always the RDP users with/causing the problems. Applied some patches to the RDP software and all fine since then. We run Opera 3 here plus our in house app (also VFP 9) and not a problem over the network or RDP. You need to be connecting locally at a gig.
