Perfmon, bro. Set a scheduled task to gather the ISA counters for that time frame and review them at your leisure. ------------------------------------------------------- Jim Harrison MCP(NT4, W2K), A+, Network+, PCG http://isaserver.org/Jim_Harrison/ http://isatools.org Read the help / books / articles! ------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Ball, Dan [mailto:DBall@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 09:23 To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] Traffic Slowdowns... http://www.ISAserver.org I know I've asked this before, but I don't recall the answer. Every morning, between 8:30am and 9:30am, we experience a massive slowdown of traffic passing through the ISA server. This lasts for 5-10 minutes, and then goes away. The time varies, but is usually within that one-hour timeframe. The level of slowdown also varies, sometimes it is barely noticeable, sometimes (like this morning) it is totally unusable. I've reviewed all the logs, watched the traffic levels, etc... I have been unable to trace what is causing this, traffic just seems to go to a stand-still. Each morning I again attempt to track it down, but I only have a few minutes to investigate, then it is gone. The problem does appear to be centered around our ISA server, but I haven't determined that it is "solely" the problem. Anyone have any good ideas on how to track this down? ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Visit TechGenix.com for more information about our other sites: http://www.techgenix.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx All mail to and from this domain is GFI-scanned.
