Slow outlook after new server

[John]

Hi

I have recently replaced a very slow sbs server with a super dooper dell sbs
server. I exported the outlook stuff into pst files before disconnecting the
old server and then imported the pst files back into outlook after
connecting the new server. The problem is clients are complaining of slow
outlook response specially on one particular pc.

What is the problem and how can I fix it?

Thanks

Regards

That depends on the definition of 'slow response'. If you want faster
delivery of email internally (like, if 30 seconds is too slow), then turn
off cached mode in Outlook.

If one PC is slower than the others, then that kind of indicates an issue on
one PC, not server side. Check event logs on workstations and server?

Have you considered if it is related to Windows SP2 (If you have
installed it). I had a similar issue. Check out the network settings
on the new server.

Also run the SBS Best Practice Analyser on the server and see if it
highlights any networking issues.
