Hello, We're attempting to trouble shoot some performance issues with an Exchange 2000 server... One counter in particular we've noticed outside of recommended thresholds is the "RPC Average Latency/Sec" counter... According to the Exchange performance guide, this counter should remain between 10-20.... We are seeing values in the 300 range during certain times of the day... Where should I start looking to diagnose the problem?? I'm assuming this may be a network type issue??? Our server has a 1GB Nic to the backbone, but is currently configured for Auto negotiation... Could that be part of the problem?? Server is: Win2k w/SP4 Exchange 2k3 w/SP3 Dual Xeon 1.5Ghz Processors 3 GB of RAM ~ 800 User mailboxes Thanks, Troy
