Hi guys,
We two servers installed back in February of this year, everything had been fine until the last couple of months.
When remoting in to the SBSERVER machine simple tasks take such a long time to achieve, windows freeze and hang, snap ins crash out - the lag is horrendous. I spoke to our IT consultancy and they said it's because we run Exchange 2010 on the same server - it will always use the maximum amount of memory much like MS SQL.
I know exchange is a bandwidth hog but would it really cause the server to be this unresponsive.
Server Specification:
Windows Server 2011 Standard 64bit SP1
Intel Xeon E31220 with 16GB DDR RAM
RAID 2 Mirrored Drives
Approx 20-25 users local and remotely accessing email.
Linked to our SQL Server
Would limiting the Exchange store file by a gig or so speed things up for me. Obviously i wouldn't want to kill Exchange in the process of doing this.
Thanks in advance!
