RE: Exchange 5.5 Server hammer-age.
Run the Task Manager on your Exchange Server and see what's eating up all the CPU Pocesses. We have this problem occasionally with mssdmn.exe running 100% utilization. We just kill this process and things go back to normal. As of yet, no one at MS has been able to explain why this occurs.

Until recently, our Exchange 5.5 Server has been running smoothly. Lately however, it has been running S..L..O..W on occasions.

RE: Exchange 5.5 Server hammer-age.
Running fine for us in a mixed nt/2k/xp area. We have about 800 users on a PIII-450 Xeon with 1gig of ram and 3 arms. No performance problems for any of the users. Have you checked your DNS and WINS setting on the XP systems, how does name resolution to your exchange server work from the cmd prompt. Ping times, etc... -Original Message- From: McCready, Robert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 18, 2003 9:39 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exchange 5.5 Server hammer-age.

RE: Exchange 5.5 Server hammer-age.
I'll wager it's an XP connectivity issue with your 5.5 box as that's what I saw here during our migration. On the client side we got rid of NetBios, made sure DNS was properly configured [on both client and server!!] and then dropped an lmhost file on the machine. The lmhost file worked like a charm for our XP clients but had no effect on our W2K clients as those systems worked right the first time and really didn't need any tweaking. WINS may also be a good replacement for the lmhost file - whichever suits your needs best. Barry Barry J.

RE: Exchange 5.5 Server hammer-age.
Just to give you a comparison, I'm running a Dell PE 6600, 2 Gigs RAM, dual 1.4 GHz processors, 900 users spread over 3 Message Databases and two RAID arrays. We still get the flag. I get the flag when I'm sitting still too, no manual activity on the laptop that I'm using. The flag is set by Outlook and is an indication of slow response by the Exchange server. The timeout for the flag can be set in the registry, or the flag can be turned off all together. The only thing I've found so far is that it's an incentive to performance tune your Exchange server and then look for other reasons for slow response time. The flag can also pop up when the workstation is doing some background work, like rendering a graphic and trying to update free/busy time on the Exchange server at the same time. It's an indication of performance problems, just not specific as to the cause.

RE: Exchange 5.5 Server hammer-age.
You have the Q article that relates to setting this flag? We used to have it with NAV in MAPI/VAPI mode, then we went to MAPI only and scheduled scans so the store wasn't always being re-scanned when the latest virus definitions arrived. -Original Message- From: John Matteson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 18, 2003 08:52 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange 5.5 Server hammer-age.
