Basics are to check the pc port and the switch port he is connected to are running at the same speed .
There may be a DNS or wins lookup problem, where wins faisl to locate the servername and fails back to checking via DNS. Some options here are to put static entires in the hosts and lmhosts files on the PC to see if that makes things go away. (don't forget to reboot between changes to make sure they are in effect) You could try mapping a drive on his PC to the exchange server to see if the response to find the drive mapping and listing the contents of the share is comparatively slow to other drive mappings (say those on the primary domain). Cheers Dean -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Aldrich Sent: Wednesday, 24 May 2006 02:08 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: EX5.5 speed issues My CTO is complaining that email is slow to open. He's in the same building as the mail server he's on and is connecting at 100Mbit to the network. The mail server is also connecting to the LAN at 100MBit. I'm pretty sure it's not his local machine as, being the CTO, he always gets the best toys. :-) Any suggestions on how to locate and resolve the source of the problem? His specific complaint is that it takes 3-5 seconds to open an email. More, possibly irrelevant info: his network account is in a separate NT4 domain, but he authenticates to the "primary" domain for his email, and of course, once he authenticates one time, he does not need to manually re-authenticate unless he closes his Outlook. I'm not positive, but I'm guessing that he's running Outlook 2000, possibly Outlook 2003 on Windows 2000 Pro.
