Not Exactly but we feeling it is a problem with increased usage and performance.
I ran the performance optimizer again for the first time in a year and although we only have 250 users I selected the check box that says we have 500-1000 users and the one for over 1000 employees. I also made sure that the mulitserver checkbox was checked. I went with all of the perfwiz recommendations for log file and database placement and everything is working 100% better now. When we look at perfwiz in read-only mode we now see that it in fact changed almost all of the settings. The key setting that it changed is the # of information store threads. We used to have 60 and now we have 110. This all seems to make a huge difference in performance for us.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Our current setup is; - Single Server Exchange Server Enterprise 5.5 Sp4 running OWA - Compaq Server Dual PII 450 Xeon Processors - 5 hard drives - 3 10,000rpm 36.4 GB drives in RAID 5 (Databases) - 2 10,000rpm 9.1 GB drives in RAID 1 (Transaction Logs) - Server is running at 100mbps full duplex. - Pub.edb = 150mb - Priv.edb 18.5 GB (approx 40GB of free space) - Circular Logging Turned off - Differential Arcserve Backup enabled - 200 - 230 Users and 300 mailboxes Description For the past couple of weeks we have notice a perceptible slowdown in client side response times on our exchange server. The slowdown mainly happens at peak times,(9-10am and 2-3pm) however we have noticed it with attachments and at other times as well. It sometimes can take 5-8 seconds to open an e-mail with an attachment where we have been getting immediate response before. For scrolling through messages in Outlook we have also noticed a slow down. Also - when copying an attachment from an e-mail to your local machine,(right click and copy, then paste to desktop) this response time has decrease dramatically. Although these slowdowns do not stop us from working on a daily basis we would like to get on top of this issue and do what we need to do to keep our Exchange server speedy. Any ideas or recommendations are appreciated. Regards, _________________ Shawn M.
