Oplocks Opportunistic locks (oplocks) are a characteristic of the LAN Manager networking protocol implemented in the 32-Bit Windows family. Oplocks are guarantees made by a server for a shared logical volume to its clients. These guarantees inform the Client that a file’s content will not be allowed to be changed by the server, or if some change is imminent, the client will be notified before the change is allowed to proceed.

Oplocks are designed to increase network

performance when it comes to network file sharing. However it is recommended to set the share oplocks to No (off) when using file-based database applications

By default Windows Vista™ has Oplocks enabled and cannot be disabled. If you are having network performance issues with applications sharing files from the DNS-321, you may try to improve performance by setting Oplocks to No (off).
