NETSH to disable advanced features

Question

Hi

As part of ongoing performance troubleshooting we've been advised to disable some of the advanced TCP settings on our Exchange 2010 server

netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled netsh interface tcp set global chimney=disabled netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

Do these settings take place immediately or do the servers require to be rebooted ? This will obviously impact when we can make these changes to minimize service interruption.

Thanks

Hi,

No rebooting is not required.

this acticle is for Chimney, and the same think for rss and autotuninglevel http://blogs.technet.com/b/networking/archive/2008/11/14/the-effect-of-tcp-chimney-offload-on-viewing-network-traffic.aspx

Hi

Thanks for the response.

As you say, this mentions netsh for TCP Chimney and no reboot required. But it then mentions changing the others via the registry and then rebooting the computer. So I'm still not sure of the definitive answer.

Thanks

Hi,

basing on this acticle, rebooting is required only with manual configuration but it's not required with netsh.
