Hi,

I've setup a Windows 2000 SBS Server in my office as a domain controller
with an Windows 2000 Server as an additional domain controller. The Windows
2000 SBS Server is responsible for Microsoft Shared Fax, Exchange 2000, DNS
server, and WINS server.

Everything was working fine until one day the server got progressively
worse. The workstations use Outlook 2000 to send email and emails get stuck
in the outbox without being sent. The Outlook Client at times is unable to
find the SMTP server or POP server. The Microsoft Shared Fax is not able to
receive an incoming fax at times. Users report that their Outlook Client
startup slowly. I get frequent high disk activity where the HDD LED is
flashing like crazy. I believe it is at these peak levels of disk activity
that the Exchange Server and Fax Server start malfunctioning.

Does anyone know what the problem could be?

I have a screen dump of the results of the PC Health Monitor at the
following URL:

Thanks.

Peter
