We recently upgraded our Vault Server to 2013 (ADMS). New high powered Dell Precision T5500 workstations were deployed with AutoDesk Inventor Suite 2013. When users attempt to open a file from the Vault using the Inventor vault add-in or Vault explorer, the process is extremely slow. The grid takes approximately 1 minute for the files to populate, then 30-45 seconds for each subsequent subfolders.
Granted the folder and file structure is large with 1000’s of drawings, but we never had this issue with Vault 2012 using old out dated workstations.
I was expecting a major performance increase with the new workstations, but we are experiencing the opposite.
Here are the details of the Vault Server:
Dell PowerEdge R510
Dual Xeon Processors 2.66GHz
48GB Ram
Full SQL Server 2008R2
Windows Server 2008R2 Enterprise
1 Vault, 1 Library
Total size of vaults (SQL Databases) 3.61GB
Total size of libraries (SQL Databases) 750MB
Total size of file store 62.94GB
Number of files in data store 187,732
Steps taken to try and speed up browsing of files in Vault:
Please help!
Thanks,
Shawn
Vautl does not connect to Live Update or any Autodesk resources on the internet.
Proxy settings do have an effect on Vault performance though.

Hi All,
Recently upgrade a client to 2013, the grid population is very, very slow... Seems to be related to all the conversations noted here,. Just wanted to let you all know that the Page view suggestion did not work, and the property grid is not available in Vault Basic.
I have used Autoloader to populate the vault and have removed all error files... I'm open to any suggestion that may address. What was once seconds to see the grid is now minutes...
System is Win 7 64 with 8 gig of memory, the application being used is AutoCAD Electrical. I have test with pure Autocad, and performance has no apparent deltas...
Thanks
