are there any metric's maxing out whilst the system appears to slow.. A) is the box paging?? B) are other machines suffering at this point? C) are there any event log entries (which may appear unrelated) ? D) does actually stop at any point.. if not a CPU/memory issue, then is something waiting for a timeout..ie bad name resolution configuration... E) is box configured for application optimization instead of 'Maximise Date throughput for file sharing'? this is just a rough guess list knocked together... best to follow a more logical approach in the numerous troubleshooting guides... -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Ron Jameson Sent: 12 July 2004 15:57 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: 2003 TS Perf Problem - best way to 100% find it Originally we did not use the 3g switch. When we ran the MS Perf Advisor - it showed 2g RAM available to users so we used the 3g to bump it to see if it made any difference (which it did not).

Is there a way to pinpoint the exact cause of a problem slowdown? The programs used on the TS are office 2003, QBooks and other accounting programs (which is the bulk - each session consuming 60-130mb for the accounting program @ each user). From what we see, the network bandwidth is non-existent, drive speed/access is low but the CPU spikes randomly on this dual xeon 3ghz on a dell PE6650. RAM is 3g, hyperthread enabled, RAID 1/5, all data on server and apps loaded on TS. We are just about to contact a third party to pin this down or MS PSS for I feel me are missing something here - just not sure what. We are running the MS service perf advisor now to see if we see anything. One of our techs did check the PTE and recently added the /3g switch for checking if it helps.
