Everything is back to normal now - it turned out to be the Trend Micro Scanmail causing problems. I removed this completely and then re-installed and all the counters are back to normal. Thanks

You might want to run Performance Optimizer and let it tell you where it has things stored. You need not change anything, just look at the current setup. Report back and maybe we'll be able to give you additional insight.

Recently the hard drive has been thrashing constantly, when I monitor the physical disk % disk time it's running at 97ish%. Also the Memory Pages/Sec counter reads about an average of 190. I don't think the server it particularly busy about 25-30 messages P/hr. It also runs Trend Micro Scanmail. I have tried increasing the page file and spreading it across 2 disks but nothing seems to reduce the paging. The other strange thing is, when I shut the machine down the hard drive is still thrashing up until I turn the power switch off - doesn't seem to matter how long its left for. Any ideas?? _________________________________________________________________ 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] _________________________________________________________________ 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]
