When it gets slow, see if it takes a long time to do a simple file copy of a large file using Windows Explorer. If it does, see if you have autosense enabled on the NIC and at the switch. If you do, hard configure both to 100Mbps full duplex and see if the problem goes away completely.
Ed Crowley MCSE+Internet MVP kcCC+I Tech Consultant hp Services Protecting the world from PSTs and Bricked Backups! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of John Q Jr. Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 12:31 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Clients expirence a slow mail server I have a single E2K system with only 55 users. Heavy users, but only 55. The issue I am experiencing is that users complain about slow mail from Outlook. It takes for ever to perform any operation. But, if I reboot the mail server the issue goes away until the next day. Any ideas? Where should I be looking to improve system performance. All specs and details are below. When I run a topology calculator from the MS site it gives me the feedback that 1 server should be sufficient. Enterprise version Win 2K server Dual Intel 733 Procs 2.5 GB RAM 4 x 18.2GB (RAID 5) IS store = 89.GB (Public Store = 35MB) Anti Virus SW = Trend Scanmail6 for E2K (scanning body and attachments) Send aprox. 10K messages a day external, 10K internal All users use OLK XP, 5 OWA users. No POP or IMAP clients. (desktop = XP) Backups nightly of mail store and file system, NOT THE M drive! (Netbackup) network connection the mail system = <10ms. (1 100BaseT connection from mail system, all clients on same switch) High latency is shown for RPC packets from Perf mon, but unsure of the cause. Thanks for ANY ideas, - John Q Jr. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
