We have one Exchange 2007 Sp2 RU4 Mailbox server. This Server has only one SG with one public folder DB. Approximately 53000 folders - with 600 GB all-over size. Mailboxes and other roles are distributed to other exchange 2007 servers. I logon on to the public folder server, open Exchange management console, open the public folder management console and when I click on the default public folders (left pane) it takes approx. 30 seconds until I see the root folders in the right pane. Now I want to access the properties of a folder (regardless if it is a root or a sub folder). The new window opens but without any informations in it. I have to wait approx. 45 seconds up to 1 minute.

Ed, access via PS is slow too.... Stauder 100

Well, my next step would be to start up Perfmon and see if I can find the performance bottleneck. -- Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." .

Ed, I don't think that it is an performance bottelneck because everything is fine. Machine ist running very well - only the managemet acces to PFs is so slow. Stauder100

Ed, excuse my late response... I which perfomance counters shall I use? At least I don't think that it is a bottelneck. All apps as well as server access are very fast. Regards Stauder100

No other ideas? The problem still exist. Stephan
