RE: Exchange Server - Outlook Client Slowdown
Title: RE: Exchange Server - Outlook Client Slowdown Are you running any type of Virus Checking Groupware? -Original Message- From: Leblanc, Shawn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2001 12:11 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Exchange Server - Outlook Client Slowdown I am hoping someone out there is having some of the same issues as we are having and have come up with some solutions. 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.

The immediate problem is that only members of Administrators can access it, otherwise you just get "Error: Access is Denied". I'm sure it's just a simple permission setting somewhere, but damned if I can find it. - Thanks in Advance, Randy.

RE: Exchange store dismounts unexpectedly
I was having a similar issue last weekend which turned out to be a User who subscribed to a Macromedia application Development l-serv. Another person subscribed to that same list had a Korean Signature File and was pretty active on that list. Every time he posted to l-appDev, the Exchange IS would crash after GroupShield choked on the sig file. The logs showed: Event ID: 1048 "McAfee GroupShield failed to send message" Event ID: 257 "An internal error occurred in GroupShield" These Events would show up 1 minute prior to the IS crashing. McAfee has not responded to my request for a resolution to this problem yet. I have just blocked Macromedia's IP and asked the User to subscribe using a Hotmail account until the issue is resolved.

Migrating AD/E2k to another Native AD/E2k Domain?
Has anyone on this list had to migrate an Exchange2000 Server from one Active Directory domain to a new Active Directory domain? If so, do you have any advice? Both Exchange and AD are currently running in Native Mode. Most migration tools only seem to support NT4 > AD and not AD > AD. There doesn't seem to be too much information on migrating from win2000 Active Directory available either. -terry List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
RE: Outlook 2007 - Win7 - Password Prompts - confusion??
Hi James, If your Windows 7 systems have e1kexpress Event ID 27 in the system log, then you should also take a look at the SipsEnabled System Idle Power Saver (SIPS) in the Advanced tab of your Intel NIC. You may need to update the Intel NIC drivers to see the SIPS feature in the Advanced tab? Check out the Intel discussions below on the 82567LM NIC that ship with new Dell systems. http://communities.intel.com/message/80336 http://communities.intel.com/thread/9913 http://communities.intel.com/message/72785 Not only can this setting cause Outlook 2007 to prompt for password, but it may also corrupt the OST file. Here is a tool that can be used to control the SIPS feature: http://h2.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp ?lang=en&cc=nl&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=3785404&prodNameId=3785039& swEnvOID=2097&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=vc-80464-1 http://h2.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSuppo rt/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=nl&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=3 785404&prodNameId=3785039&swEnvOID=2097&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swIt em=vc-80464-1')> From: James Hill [mailto:james.h...@superamart.com.au] Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2010 4:40 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Outlook 2007 - Win7 - Password Prompts - confusion??

I have an issue with outlook that I'm finding a little difficult to troubleshoot. Trying to search for ideas is like finding a needle in a haystack. Infrastructure details:- Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 clients. Outlook 2007 SP2 Exchange 2007 SP1 with Update Rollup 7 Outlook Anywhere in use ISA Server in the mix but for this issue it is all internal. These clients are laptops connected to the network via wired and wireless (they are sitting on a dock) at the same time. Outlook has been opened without any issues and has been in use. If the user then undocks the laptop the following occurs:- XP SP3 clients reconnect to the Exchange server and it's all pretty seamless. The user doesn't notice. Windows 7 clients attempt to reconnect to the Exchange server but fails and then prompts the user for credentials. Entering the creds just results in continuous password prompts. If the user then closes and reopens Outlook on the Windows 7 client all is well. Going the other way (from Wireless to Wired) there is no issue. Any suggestions are more than welcome!!
