RE: OUTLOOK 2003 VERY SLOW OPENING
Well, my testing over the last 2 days confirms that the problem is caused by users trying to open Outlook following log on and thus the workstations are still busy doing housekeeping. If they wait about 5 minutes or so, the Outlook client opens within 10 seconds. Thanks for all the suggestions. Murray

Well, my testing over the last 2 days confirms that the problem is caused by users trying to open Outlook following log on and thus the workstations are still busy doing housekeeping. It might make the lusers happier if some sleep statements are inserted in the logon scripting, delaying the non-time critical housekeeping... I would go ballistic if it took my PC 5 min to be usable (and I'm one who understands that things need to be done)! ~JasonG

RE: OUTLOOK 2003 VERY SLOW OPENING
Thank you for all the suggestions. I tried opening in Safe Mode and shutting down all the Add-ins and then testing with each of our add-ins. End result, virtually the same speed in opening Outlook. Finally, I then logged out of our network, and then logged back in. I waited until it appeared that the login process was complete, and immediately opened Outlook in normal mode. It took 37 seconds. I then closed Outlook and reopened it after waiting a few seconds. It took 8 seconds. I believe the problem is related to the login process and not a problem with Outlook. I'll test again tomorrow morning but I suspect the results will be the same. Thanks again for the suggestions. Murray
Re: OUTLOOK 2003 VERY SLOW OPENING
What is your user environment like? You indicated the problem commonly surfaces during the first logon. Do you have a large number of users logging in at or around the same time in the morning? What about mailbox sharing behavior? Do a lot of users share their mail folders/calendars/etc. with other users? I've heard in the past that Exchange having to consistently rebuild Address Book Views (I believe that was the terminology) can cause performance degradation at the server level, ultimately affecting the clients. I'm working off memory here, but I seem to recall that folder views are cached until it is viewed for the 11th time, at which time a new view is generated. Whatever the case may be, I'd start paying particular attention to server performance, specifically the disks.

Re: OUTLOOK 2003 VERY SLOW OPENING
If you're using Personal Folders, were they brought over from an earlier version of Outlook or was a PST created in Outlook 2003 and the contents of the older PST copied into it? If the PST is from an earlier version of Outlook, I'm wondering about the PST size. In addition, make sure Outlook is really closed. Check the task manager, OUTLOOK.EXE will typically run for about 10 seconds after closing it. If it remains open, then there is something that is holding it open (like FAX software, synch software for a handheld, etc.). - Original Message - From: Maglinger, Paul To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Sent: Tuesday, June 30, 2009 4:59 PM Subject: RE: OUTLOOK 2003 VERY SLOW OPENING So you're using Personal Folders at the workstation?

On Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 9:59 AM, Jay Dalejd...@xpresstel.com wrote: We are not using Cached Mode. That might cause Outlook to open slowly, especially if you have a significant mailbox size. FWIW, IME, this depends on a lot on the environment. As a general guideline, I say: Fast server, fast network, and/or slow clients, online is better. Slow server, slow network, and/or fast clients, cached is better. Slow may just mean sufficiently heavily loaded. In particular, with a large mailbox ( 1 to 2 GB), OST performance can really start to drag down overall client performance. Exchange and ESE can handle this a lot better. We've found NTFS fragmentation can be a problem with such large OSTs, and have even gone so far as to create separate partitions just for OST files, which seemed to help. This is all Outlook 2003; I understand 2007 has different performance behaviors. YMMV, etc. (And yes, I just posted the same guideline in ntsysadmin. I didn't know this was coming, I swear. :) ) -- Ben
RE: OUTLOOK 2003 VERY SLOW OPENING
Is the slowness in opeing Outlook for the first time, or opening immediately after login? IOW - If you log in and wait for any group policy application, startup scritpts, etc to complete, is it still slow to open the first time, or is in only if you open it immediately after logging in?

RE: OUTLOOK 2003 VERY SLOW OPENING
It's usually immediately after logging in, but, I've tested in the afternoon, by logging out, and then logging in and immediately opening the client. It moves fast in the afternoon. Tomorrow morning, I'll log into my workstation and then wait about 10 minutes before opening the client.
