Exchange Clients SLOW - Please HELP!
Ladies and Gentlemen of the list , here's my situation in brief: Yesterday someone on our network was infected with the Nimda virus (through an infected web page and unpatched IE 5.01 install, but that's beside the point)... I had Netshield 4.5 running on our main file server, set to email me when a virus was found on the system... Within 5 minutes, I had over 8000 email messages from the scanner, from the infected machine trying to put .eml files onto the server. Now my mailbox is VERY slow... I've tried opening my mailbox with Outlook XP and Outlook 2000, also tried connecting to it with Outlook Express and IMAP, but IMAP was only downloading like 1 message per second (even though I set it to only download headers, on a 100 Mbit network connection!) When trying to delete the 8000 messages with OL XP, between each deletion I get the dialog stating that Outlook is retrieving data from the Microsoft Exchange server etc and pauses for 20-25 seconds between each message deletion... It gives me an estimated time remaining of 39 hours! Can anybody give me an idea how to best clear these things out of my mailbox, or why it's choking so bad on these messages, they're each only 560-580 bytes (plain text messages)... Server is Exchange 5.5 SP4... Please CC: replies to [EMAIL PROTECTED] since my Exchange Box is almost unusable! TIA! Show me a completely smooth operation and I'll show you someone who's covering mistakes.

RE: Exchange Clients SLOW - Please HELP!
Go to www.trend.com and download the fix utility for nimda. Also clean the server out first and disconnect every client mmachine from the network until the server is clean. Then run the fix on the client machines with out them connected to the network. I had the same problem with outlook. You still have the virus coming or its still on your server. also i would download the patch for IIS if you have it.

Richard, But the thing is that we don't have the virus running around anymore... I've cleaned the infected machine and it's not putting files on the file server anymore... NetShield kept the files off the server(s)... Other mailboxes / users aren't experiencing the strange speed slowdown that I am I should also add that doing ANYTHING in my mailbox (opening a message, replying to a message, etc) causes a 15-20 second pause on any machine that I try to open the mailbox on...

RE: Exchange Clients SLOW - Please HELP!
Are you the only one with a slow client? You might start looking at your network infrastructure if you believe the virus is gone. Have you run the nimda scanner from www.Eeye.com on your network to see if there are any other vulnerable machines? Do you have Xadmin loaded on your workstation? Can you open it up without any delays? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Joe Pochedley Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2001 8:36 AM To: Exchange Discussions Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Exchange Clients SLOW - Please HELP!

RE: Exchange Clients SLOW - Please HELP!
I have NetSheild running on the servers, but have turned off email alerts because of the great number of messages caused by Nimda yesterday... I have Groupshield Exchange running on the server to stop Nimda from coming in via email... Neither has reported a hit of Nimda since late yesterday afternoon. I am still receiving and am able to send email from my account, using my workstation with OL2000 but again it's so slow as to almost be unusable (though it's how I'm communicating with the list)... I have another machine set up with my mailbox and a mailbox rule going through my Inbox deleting each message created by the flood yesterday because if I try to delete the entire group of messages at once, Outlook hangs (I left it run overnight and it claimed that it was going to take 264 hours to delete the messages when I came in this morning!)... So that's why I created the rule... I'm just hoping that after all the messages are deleted (or I'm guessing there's one specific message that's causing all the problems) that things will return to normal, but I was hoping there was another way / something else I could do to get things back to normal ASAP.

No, I haven't run the tool from eEye, but Xadmin opens just fine on my workstation. Other mailboxes open just fine on the workstation as well, no problems there... My mailbox, OTOH, runs like a snail on every workstation I've tried it on... Sorry, guess the subject should've been Exchange Mailbox SLOW not the clients themselves... In my haste and frustration I erred in my choice of words... Show me a completely smooth operation and I'll show you someone who's covering mistakes.

Are you the only one with a slow client? You might start looking at your network infrastructure if you believe the virus is gone. Have you run the nimda scanner from www.Eeye.com on your network to see if there are any other vulnerable machines? Do you have Xadmin loaded on your workstation? Can you open it up without any delays? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Joe Pochedley Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2001 8:36 AM To: Exchange Discussions Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Exchange Clients SLOW - Please HELP!

Other mailboxes / users aren't experiencing the strange speed slowdown that I am I should also add that doing ANYTHING in my mailbox (opening a message, replying to a message, etc) causes a 15-20 second pause on any machine that I try to open the mailbox on... Other mailboxes open fine... Show me a completely smooth operation and I'll show you someone who's covering mistakes.

Go to www.trend.com and download the fix utility for nimda. Also clean the server out first and disconnect every client mmachine from the network until the server is clean. Then run the fix on the client machines with out them connected to the network. I had the same problem with outlook. You still have the virus coming or its still on your server. also i would download the patch for IIS if you have it.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the list , here's my situation in brief: Yesterday someone on our network was infected with the Nimda virus (through an infected web page and unpatched IE 5.01 install, but that's beside the point)...
