Good Morning! I ran performance optimizer last night and no change in performance. I do however have more information regarding whats happening. The Outlook not responding is occurring when in Calendar accepting and declining meetings. There is not a lot of slow down when doing regular email.
Currently the average CPU usage on the store is running at 30% to 45% with a max of 148%?????? Anyone seen this before?

Slow performance is better then the screaming that will occur if I down it during business hours.

I have not disabled the other server yet as I am still moving public folders off of it. No one had complained until I moved the last 30 or so users from the other server on to this one over the weekend. I didn't want to remove the server from the site if I could get it repaired and move folks back on to it. As to disk space c: 4 gb with 1 gb free (os) d: 4 gb with 3 gb free (logs) f: 76 gb with 52.8 free (store) Oh and one last thing... scan mail 3.51 w/ emanager 3.11 Bob F. -----Original Message----- From: John Matteson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2002 1:38 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: performance issues Is your DNS and WINS services running properly? Are Exchange services running on the old server still (they shouldn't be). Have these users that complain about Outlook "hanging" had their workstation profiles (MAIL profiles, not workstation profile) nuked and rebuilt from scratch? Usually a "hung" Outlook client can be traced back to DNS/WINS that is misconfigured or just plain broke. Since you just changed users to a new server, the client may be attempting to connect to the old server, and having to wait until things time out before realizing that the mailbox is on a different server. If the old exchange server is not to be used anymore, you may want to remove it from the WINS/DNS database. And BTW, your box sounds like it has plenty of horsepower to support 370 users. Just make sure that you have enough disk space on all the drives, especially the log drive.

Users are complaining about Outlook just hanging. This is an Exchange 5.5 sp4 site running on NT 4.0 sp6 servers. The hardware itself is a Compaq DL 380 Dual Pentium III - 733 with 500 mb of ram. There is plenty of disk space on the all 3 partitions. The server went from having about a 190 users on it to having 370 users. I thought that there would be more then enough CPU and Memory on this box to accommodate the additional users so that I could trouble shoot the other box but it doesn't appear so. Does this box sound like it should be able to accommodate this many users? Does it need more memory? Performance monitor shows much higher CPU usage for the STORE which is to be expected with increase in users but its not pegged all the time. Opinions? Bob F.
