Open up your task manager, go to the processes tab and look through the processes to see what is taking up the most CPU time. This is most likely the culprit. Jeffrey Engle Senior Network/Telecom Systems Analyst The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armor to lead all his customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he who by peddling second-hand, second-rate technology, led them all into it in the first place. --Douglas Adams Author, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. -----Original Message----- From: Arief Kurniawan [mailto:ariefk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, June 13, 2004 23:15 To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Server HD accessed intensively http://www.MSExchange.org/ The servers' hardware is brand new, it's only 5 months old. The fan is still going well. We're thingking about the safest scenario on replacing this server using exactly the same name and configuration to prevent our 300+ users to reconfigure their outlook connection setting (server repointing). Or is there anyway to build another new server with a new name without having this, while the old one is restored. regards, Arief K _____ From: John Oligario [mailto:joligario@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, June 14, 2004 10:04 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Server HD accessed intensively http://www.MSExchange.org/ I personally would make sure there is a valid backup. How old is the server / hard disk drive? The power supply? Is the fan still going on the power supply and / or server chassis? sometimes those are warnings of worse things to come.
