1. Open Regedit.
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Filesystem.
3. In the right pane, look for the Dword named NtfsMftZoneReservation.
4. If exists change the Dword to 4.
5. If not exists, create a new DWORD NtfsMftZoneReservation in the registry and set its value to 4.
EXTRA INFO
The default value for this key is 1. This is good for a drive that will contain relatively a few large files. Other
options include:
2—Medium file allocation
3—Larger file allocation
4—Maximum file allocation
Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn't give any clear guidelines as to what distinguishes Medium from Larger and
Maximum levels of files. Suffice it to say, if you plan to store lots of files on your workstation, you may want to
consider a value of 3 or 4 instead of the default value of 1.
Object Directory Backup Tool Setup
If you set up your Object Directory backup tool, make sure it is not running too many times a day because the
in between time will be too short. This will cause the tool to run constantly causing overload. Do not use the
object change tracker in big database. It will decrease the database speed about 100%!
Anti‐Virus Scanner
It is not necessary to use a virus scanner on the database (SBDATA). Most of the data is encrypted, so there is
nothing to be scanned and scanning will reduce much of the performance. Switch off any scanning of the
SBDATA on the EEPC Database server. Also, exclude the SbDbServer executable from scanning.
Also if your Anti Virus program has high‐risk/low‐risk process detection marking all the EEM/EEPC main
executables on the server as low risk and disable scanning on reads / writes may help further (see screen
shots).
