Hi Jan, Thanks for the reply. I will take that up and see with Network Admin. what can be done on that as a possible solution. It's just that I have had, following various install hiccups, to get in touch with the SAS UK team and had the entire SAS Depot of 17GB downloaded to my own machine and then proeeded with a full install on my machine - not from a network. So I presume no network 'effects' should be affecting my SAS EG performance. Furthermore, I do not use, as far as I am aware, any network servers for workspace. All processing is done on the local server. I have, however, little grasp of the metadata server and what for and why it is needed or how it should be configured, at the moment. In any case, the metadata server should also reside on the 'local' server, I should presume, given the way in which I installed SAS EG. Nevertheless, of course, SAS EG may well still be attempting to connect/reconnect to said 'phantom' servers. This will be so, if these server locations were included automatically as 'default locations' in the install phase, as the servers SAS EG should be connected to (and which server locations may need to be either set locally or may need to be deleted as the case maybe). For exmaple, if they do not exist or are not needed. I am, however, unaware of these details. Although from your previous post (and of Chris and Quentin) it does seem as though there are such 'default' settings that refer to phantom server locations. Any thoughts would help. I will chase it up anyways. Thanks. Bye for now. Hardy.
