Hi,
I have a client that has about 20 users of Outlook, a SQL database app and
QuickBooks. In the afternoons, after about 3pm the box is coming to a crawl
for almost 2 hours (that's when the users leave). The process is that the
database app prints a report to Word or PDF and then person X in the
warehouse must open Outlook, open the attachment and print the attachment.
This is a somewhat unique situation, most of my clients enter changes into
the SQL app and then they produce a report from the database app directly;
this model doesn't work for this client so they've adopted the approach of
emailing attachments to each department that has a change.
I have downloaded from systernals the taskman replacement and Outlook, Word
and the PDF's are what appear to be eating the processor usage. At first, I
thought it was RAM so I have 4GB in the box now with dual 2.8 Xeon
processors for about 20 users.
Any suggestions on how I can alter the performance of Outlook?
Thanks
Chris
