Hi Andrea, Thanks for the reply.. I dont see any flooding on the LAN or ghost multicast. No process are stuck also. Can this Defrag cause this slowness?

You must do an offline defrag to reduce the size. speed: if it's not a network issue (eg. someone doing a ghost multicast and flooding the network, or a DoS attack on your exchange), then take a close look at the exchange server. check if any processes are stuck and using up all processor time (task manager) -----Original Message----- From: Sudhir Kaushal [mailto:skaushal@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: March 26, 2003 10:24 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Slow connectivity http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hi, I have Exchange 5.5 on Win NT 4 PDC. For the past couple of days the users are complaining of slow response through outlook express. The same is the case with telnet too. It takes some time to get connected. I checked there is enough space on the drives. One more thing i noticed is that in the mailbox resources there are hardly any mails in individual's mailboxes but still the priv.edb is of in GB's. I have no network speed issues. May i know what could be causing the slowness and size of priv.edb. Regards, Sudhir Kaushal Network Engineer ( Hosted Team ) eGain Communications Pvt. Ltd.
