I think we are also at 253. We have a lot of citrix servers....each with up to 200-250 citrix sessions on it at the same time. We did not see anything on the downside after making the change....we did it based on the output of cifs stats

Anybody consciously set this to something other than the default value of 50?
If you have raised it, why did you do so, and more importantly, did you see any negative impact on the *toaster*?
We're currently at 253 in one of our environments, and we're being asked to bump it to the maximum recommended value (1124).
I've read the NOW articles on the parameter, so no need to explain what it is or how it works. I'm just looking for experience, good or bad, for raising it to the much larger values.
This environment already has our Windows machines beating the crap out of a handful of 6070's, and I'm proceeding cautiously before giving each Windows client EVEN MORE connections to the toasters...
Until next time...
