Having worked with 3 different Kevin's in the past, I have learnt to
ignore them, they seem to be like Andrew's....:)

Probably a good idea to ignore "thekevin" (wonder who "theotherkevin"
is?) in general.

Time to start with some perf counters.
Specifically, any ISA or network counters that deal in "backlogged" or
"queue".

I've had this slowdown happen several times today, and haven't figured
out what is going on yet.  Traffic passing through the server drags to a
halt (RDP continues to work fine though), VPN connections drop, then a
few minutes later everything is running smoothly again.  Reviewing the
logs shows nothing out of the ordinary, the only things curious are a
few entries similar to the below entries.

 

How do I troubleshoot this?  

 

Regardless of thekevin's thoughts, I'm not going to "FDISK" my server to
fix it.  Heck, I can't even remember the last time I used FDISK,
repartioning has been part of the OS installation for many years now.
Not to mention all my servers have RAID arrays, not a good thing to use
on them...

http://www.ISAserver.org

Had a major slowdown of all web traffic this morning, so I logged into
the ISA server and checked out the logs.  There was a large amount of
NetBIOS traffic being logged, so I captured several seconds of it from
the firewall log, and restarted the server.  The problem has since
disappeared.

 

Here are two entries that kept repeating themselves:

 

Original Client IP            Client Agent      Authenticated Client
Service  Server Name      Referring Server Destination Host Name
Transport           MIME Type        Object Source   Source Proxy
Destination Proxy          Bidirectional      Client Host Name    Filter
Information            Network Interface           Raw IP Header   Raw
Payload     Source Port       Processing Time            Bytes Sent
Bytes Received  Result Code      HTTP Status Code         Cache
Information          Error Information            Log Record Type
Log Time           Destination IP    Destination Port Protocol
Action   Rule      Client IP            Client Username
Source Network Destination Network       HTTP Method    URL

10.20.3.22                                             GATEWAY        -

Local Host         Internal - WAN Network            -           -

 

24.213.58.25 is one of our Public IP addresses

10.20.3.22 is a DHCP lease that was supposedly currently in use by the
ISA server, for VPN clients

10.6.8.72 is a workstation on one of our subnets.

There were no VPN connections in session at the time.

 

Anyone else seen something like this?

The correct technical term for haggis stalking is "havering".
