Hi all, I have exchange 2007 SP3 + RUP 2 Installed. Recently we have observed that the console is opening very slowly. We have less number of recipients in exchange. We have higher end hardware and enough disk space and memory available Regards, Avinash

Try to change the number of displayed reciepients that are displayed when opening the management console. Default I believe is 1000, try 10. Sukh

Hi Sukh, We have only 300 recipients, as already communicated. Regards, Avinash

What if you do change to 10, is there any change? Any reason why you're not on RU3? Below applies to Exchange2010, may be relevant to 2007 too. http://blogs.technet.com/b/richardroddy/archive/2011/02/16/exchange-2010-management-tools-are-very-slow-to-open-and-respond.aspx
