turn on some perf-mon counters and see whatcha see. be gentle with the graphing update interval. if you can squeeze in a server restart, you could possibly be an instant hero.

The only thing that I can think of is we have run into some kind of performance barrier based on the abilities of our hardware, size of our databases and server usage. Can anyone confirm these theories?

Any new services introduced into your Exchange environment? -----Original Message----- From: Leblanc, Shawn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2001 3:11 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exchange Server - Outlook Client Slowdown I am hoping someone out there is having some of the same issues as we are having and have come up with some solutions. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Our current setup is; - Single Server Exchange Server Enterprise 5.5 Sp4 running OWA - Compaq Server Dual PII 450 Xeon Processors - 5 hard drives - 3 10,000rpm 36.4 GB drives in RAID 5 (Databases) - 2 10,000rpm 9.1 GB drives in RAID 1 (Transaction Logs) - Server is running at 100mbps full duplex. - Pub.edb = 150mb - Priv.edb 18.5 GB (approx 40GB of free space) - Circular Logging Turned off - Differential Arcserve Backup enabled - 200 - 230 Users and 300 mailboxes Description For the past couple of weeks we have notice a perceptible slowdown in client side response times on our exchange server. The slowdown mainly happens at peak times,(9-10am and 2-3pm) however we have noticed it with attachments and at other times as well. It sometimes can take 5-8 seconds to open an e-mail with an attachment where we have been getting immediate response before. For scrolling through messages in Outlook we have also noticed a slow down. Also - when copying an attachment from an e-mail to your local machine,(right click and copy, then paste to desktop) this response time has decrease dramatically. Although these slowdowns do not stop us from working on a daily basis we would like to get on top of this issue and do what we need to do to keep our Exchange server speedy. Any ideas or recommendations are appreciated. Regards, _________________ Shawn M.
