Just curious but have you run analyze.exe on your logs to see the frequency your users are logging in? I run this regularly to weed out the people that are logging in every 1 minute. Bill Foresman Matrosity Hosting www.matrosity.com 850.656.2644 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think the disk may be the root of the trouble... Check the Disk Queue Length (use perfmon and value should be below the 20 line most of the time. If just a little above, probably just a busy system, but if above 60 for extended periods of time, you seem to have a disk bottleneck. And the suggest

Just to clarify regarding your average disk queue length, ideally the actual value of this performance metric will be less than or equal to 1 * X, where X is the number of spindles associated with that partition. Daniel's reference to '20' I believe was in regards to the how this metric is graphed
