I just wanted him to have all the information I had. Anyway, it'll probably be something silly like having auto-negotiation enabled on the switch. :) Tom. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Bouzan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 4:08 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: promoting E2K to a DC Thomas, I was not doubting that your response was factually correct, it is. I'm just trying to save the guy some money!

I merely stated that this message box is generally caused by network congestion and that IF this was the culprit in John's case, to call PSS for the solution. That's why I prefaced it the way I did. Note that he said there are only 25 on this particular server, not on his whole network. He did not say how many users are on the network. I have no idea how much traffic is on the segment his E2K box resides on, or on his network as a whole. He hasn't provided that information. I mentioned what I did because this is known to be caused by network congestion and other connectivity based issues. As I said, IF this is caused by network congestion, the fix is a few registry settings that must be obtained from PSS (unless you are under an MS NDA, in which case you can get the info from MPO). I figured that since I was aware, I would mention it so that if John confirmed the cause was network congestion, he'd know there was a potential solution available for that particular scenario.

I have 400 users over thirty sites and PSS is not even an option yet until I have checked the cable etc. See my previous post.

You can run a netmon trace to confirm this is the cause in your case. If that's what's causing the problem in your case, you can call PSS and get some information for registry changes to tune the length of time that will pass before the message box is presented or disable it altogether.

All users are using OLK2002. I have tried everything I know. To no avail. I have also tried to reset the OLK clients, still an issues. It's odd it seams to rotate, one day a user will work fine and then not, then a nother user will expirence the same isse. I would think it's a load issue, but w/ only 25 users on this ssytem, there is no way. Even checked w Prof monitor. 1GB mem, dual 550 Procs, 36 GB of free space So I am thinking it's an issue with E2K DC communication. So my fix is to promote the E2K Server to a DC w/ a GC on it. Any reason I should not?
