This is over frame relay. I don't believe we are having any resource issues. This is an 8processor 8GB ram box. We generally only use 2-4% of the processors, and less than 2GB of ram.
ooooo crucial details I left out. The OWA users are authenticating using NT4.0 domain accounts, not Win2k. There is a two way trust in place between the AD and the NT domain. The NT4.0 domain has more than enough BDC's to process the requests. There are 3 DC's in the AD, none of which are overloaded at the time of the slowdown. Front end servers create extra log ins (when OWA passes you to another server, you must re-enter your credentials). The users don't tolerate this very well. -----Original Message----- From: Tony Hlabse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 3:25 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: OWA E2k slowdowns Is this issue on the internal network or access from modem users.
