Hi all,

Quite frequently we see a popup message titled: "Requesting data from
microsoft exchange server" as outlook tries to connect to the exchange
server. This is quickly becomming w wide spread problem in our envirionment,
An suggestion on how to trouble shoot why this is happening would be great.

My exchange server is a cluster here is the specs for the primary node:
ProLiant CL380
Dual 996 Mhz
Total Physical Memory 1,048,092 KB
Available Physical Memory 52,564 KB
Total Virtual Memory 2,611,196 KB
Available Virtual Memory 142,464 KB
Page File Space 1,563,104 KB

I have about 250 mailboxes on this BE server. The exchange data base is on a
100gb drive that has 59gb free.

Thanks

It's a probably network issue and has nothing to do with the capacity of
your Exchange server.

I believe the reason you are seeing this is network latency - if I'm
correct, this message replaced the hourglass just ticking away to let
you know what it was doing while you waited. I would check your
network statistics and look for possible bottlenecks in that respect.
Since I'm not sure what your NIC configuration is, it's hard to say,
but dual NICs teamed may help the issue, but if the bottleneck lies
elsewhere in your topology that may not help.

not a networking expert, but that's my guess. Hope this helps! Good
luck :)
