Greg, maybe it is just specific to SBS2000 with SBSSP1 (Win2KSP3) &
WinXPSP1? That is my primary area of support! From the minute I
installed SP1 on XP machines in November last, we had speed issues on 4
sites (particularly with M$ Office products) right thru till March 19
when M$ released hot fix referred in KB article 815411.
But the issues that I have documented (& M$ denied for months was
possible)could & certainly did slow down Exchange operations!

I agree with Stephen, all bar the win2k sp3 and xp sp1 thing. Never seen
any
real problems in that situation. Not saying it cant happen but id suss
the
other things first.

Maybe there are other underlying issues to look at? WindowsXP SP1 &
Win2k Server SP3 don't work very well together (to the point that I have
seen a machine take more than 1/2 hour to open a simple word document on
the server!) Items to check include (but are not limited to ) NIC's
(speed & duplex - force), protocol binding order, M$ patches (329170,
MS03-005, MS03-004, MS02-070, 292822, 331519, 815411, 811492, 810907, XP
SP1a, OL SP's)

I know that this doesn't answer your question, but it may help you get
some speed back into your network!

How does Exchange work as far as the clients are concerned?
I have two machines, which I believe are under powered but my boss
believes otherwise, that are slow
at receiving mail. It is only these two machines having problems,
everyone else is fine.
One machine is a laptop, P4 processor w/ 256MB of memory with WinXP Pro.
The other is a P2 400mgz w/ 256MB which is a desktop.
The desktop is slow at loading Outlook (the processor peaks out) while
the laptop shows no problems with speed.
Our exchange server runs a firewall as well as Norton AV and is a Compaq
Prolient ML330 G2, it runs ISA server as well.
We have about 30-35 people running Outlook at all times.
The problem is basically: These two people (especially the desktop) take
a long while (30 minutes) to receive a piece of email
that was sent in-house. For me, I receive it spontaneously however they
do not.
The time stamp on the email shows it was sent 30 minutes ago.
How would a single piece of email take so long to get from the server to
the desktop?
How does the Exchange protocol work? From what I understand it pushes
email to the client yet still keeps it on the server. Is their somewhere
I can go to read how it works? I tried google, but could not find what I
was searching for. :-/
If this person has a big (115MB) email folder size, could this be the
issue? If so, then why isn't everyone else effected?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
