To All: Pls. HELP! What do we need to do to correct this problem?


Dual PIII 700 Xeon 2Gb RAM and using the /3Gb switch
1 Gb NIC

E2K Enterprise SP3 and Win2K Adv Srvr SP3 member server
Information Store +10Gb
+4,500 users
>10% ave. CPU Utilization
IS and Logs in same Hardw RAID 5 (3 x 36Gb HDD)
OS in separate Hardw RAID 1 partition (2 x 36GbHDD)
Using Norton NAV ver. 2.5 for E2K

1 GC/DC in same segment at >4% ave. CPU Utilization


If I send an e-mail to an outside internet address, they will receive it within >2 minutes but sending an e-mail to myself will take about +10 minutes. If I send an e-mail from hotmail at 1:00pm I will receive it in Outlook at about 1:14pm but with a time stamped received at 1:01pm.

Users are pissed (yeah! watsnew?) because the internal mail delivery took less than a minute when we were running E5.5 on a much slower/older server.

Also, when creating new users, RUS fails to automatically create an e-mail address. The only recourse for us is to reboot the server wherein RUS will work for a few hours.

BTW, we have the same 2 problems using E2K SP2 and Win2K SP2, we were hoping SP3 will help ...Oh well...
