Also, check the a/v solution to make sure it's not set to update virus def or dat or whatever flavor your solution utilizes. If you can monitor network traffic as well that may give an indication of what's causing delays. If it's mainly printing/opening docs, sounds more network congestion related, not local to the workstation.

From: Murray Freeman [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 6:02 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: NETWORK RUNS SLOW AFTER 5PM We have an AWS (alternate work schedule) whereby if you choose you can work longer days such that you get a Friday off every other week. So, while our regular working hours are 8:30AM to 5:00PM, there are always a small number of people left in the building and thus the network after 5PM. Of these people, a couple have complained that after 5PM thenetwork really slows down, or at least they have delays printing and opening documents. One individual has told me that precisely at 5:17PM each evening, her workstation virtually comes to a standstill for about 20 minutes, and then goes back to normal. I've checked the event logs on the servers, and snothing special is going on. I'm going to hang around this evening and take a look at the task manager on the one workstation to see if I can see if any process isusing up all the CPU resources. I'll check the event logs on the workstation as well. We're running Win XP and Windows Server 2003. I have suspicians about something "sinister" like someone using our machines as bots, but it's more than likely an internal issue. Any thouhgts would be appreciated.
