Performance problems on Exchange   
Hello:

I have been getting an increasing number of reports of users getting pop ups 
in there sys trays saying that Outlook is trying to connect to the Exchange 
server.  I have run the "Best Practices Analyzer Tool" against the server 
and for the most part it is giving the server a green light.  All servers 
and the back bone are gigabit, and then it is 100MB to the desktops.  I am 
puzzled why I am getting complaints and not sure how to chase this.  Any 
suggestions anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Performance problems on Exchange   
Hello Harrison,

Thank you for posting here!

First, thanks to Leif for his good suggestion.

Server's performance is related to a lot of things, such as CPU, RAM, 
networking, work load and so on. According to my experience, I suggest you 
confirm the following things:
1.	Did you install any applications on your Exchange server before the 
problem occurred? If so, please disable them temporarily.
2.	Make sure if the networking is running without virus. (Both on servers 
and clients)
3.	Did the problem occur on different clients at same time? Or it is a 
random issue.
4.	If you have more then one network segments, please confirm if the 
problem occurs only in one or more specific segment.

In order to verify if the problem is on the server side, you can use the 
performance counters to monitor server's performance, such as free RAM, CPU 
usage and so on.

Performance issues can be difficult to troubleshoot and resolve in a 
newsgroup setting due to the number of variables and the amount of time 
required to narrow down possible causes and observe the effects.  We will 
assist as best as we can, but you may wish to consider contacting CSS for a 
more timely resolution for these type issues.

Re: Performance problems on Exchange   
Thanks for your replies.  I have run the Best Practices Analyzer Tool and it 
is giving the server a pretty good clear bill of health.  There are some 
warnings and I am in the process of cleaning them up.  I don't think I have 
a problem on the network due to the back bone being Gigabit.  All the 
switches are running fine .  Just curious if you think this could be an 
Active Directory issue.  I am not sure.  I know the integration between AD 
and Exchange is pretty heavy and thought perhaps this could be the issue?

Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Performance problems on Exchange   
Hi Harrison,

Maybe! As we all know, there are three kinds of connection between Exchange 
and Outlook. They are Mail, Public Folder and Directory. So it may be an 
AD/DC issue. 

I suggest you check the connection status when the problem happens:
1. When the problem happens, press left Ctrl and right click the Outlook 
icon on the tray. (Beside the system time.)
2. Check "Status" and "Req/Fail" to verify which kind of connection(s) is 
lost.

If you find something abnormal, you can check the proper server.

Hope it helps.
