Connections to exchange on SBS 2003 slows down
Hi,I recently migrated an instance of MS SBS 2003 standard onto new hardware but have been having problems with exchange ever since. After a reboot exchange works normally but suddenly after a day or sometimes two it slows down almost instantly to a virtual stop. Exchange 2003 clients get RPC trying to connect error and don't update and webmail takes around 10 minutes to load for 1 user. Issue is resolved by rebooting the server.New server: Dell Poweredge 2900 III. MS SBS 2033 standard1x RAID 1 Mirror System, 1x RAID 5 partition data. Exchange db on RAID5, Logs and install on RAID 155 users ~ 65 Gb exchange data.

Not sure where to start? Has anyone else seen this, or can point me in the right direction?Thanks, John

While I love my iPhone, there have been some reports that they don't always play by the rule.
