Hi Again,
Just a quick update. As per my previous messge, I have rebuilt the Raid and there was no noticeable difference in perfomance. However a week later the machine seems to have come back to live. The performance has increased and it is now working as expected.
I had not done anything...
Hi All,
OK, sorry but since the my last message I
1. Configured a temporary machine for terminal services on the same domain as the faulty machine and it works just fine as expected. So I have my users logging on to this for now.
Faulty machine:
2. Got an error on the RAID Array Manager...
Hi All,
Sorry i have been away on a two day conference and only just came back.
Just a quick update from the last time.
After trying a few more troubleshooting AGAIN, I finally got a RAID message that it is running in DEGRADED mode. Now I don't know if this is consequential of what I have...
Thanks, I did update and run AV on it on Saturday but nothing found.
I also checked task manager and there is no obvious process hugging up memory. In most cases the CPU usage stayed at 11% at the most.
I even increased the minimum page file size but stil no joy.
Kind Regards
Joe
Hi Markdmac,
I have ran the script but it has not made any difference to the performance. I also increased the paging file but still no joy.
Any more suggestions on what I should check or try please.
Thanks
Joe
Hi All,
Thanks for your suggestions so far.
I have looked in the event log and there are no warnings or errors relating to the problem. Actually the only errors there were about incorrect log ons and a few about printing.

Porkchopexpress, Thanks for your contribution, please find my response above.
RJS, I did check the event log and it had nothing that looked relatively connected to this issue. I will have to go into work tomorrow since I have left the ghost running overnight. I can post the event log messages...
Yes, logging on locally is fine, but still takes as long to access data.
New development since I last posted.
I have tried to ghost the machine (just in case it all goes peer shapped), but ghosting a single partition of 12 gb says it will take >81 Hours (eighty one hours). It has done 1 and...
Hi All.
Could somebody please help me with this. I have a Dell machine running 2003 server that is grinding to a halt. The machine is almost non-responsive. Lately it takes forever to do anything on it.
The machine has been fine up until last week with no apparent reason. I have not...

I don't think it was the faulty disk. At the moment it all seems to be working OK though the imminient faillure msg is still there. I simply do not seem to be able to diagnose the faulty disk even using the diagnostic CD that came with the server.
As it stamd, I have decided to leave it as it...
OK, I have checked and the server does not have the management agent installed. What I then did was I removed a physical disk in slot 5 and then restarted the machine and got the following msg: drive controller 1 (slot 5) Hard drive 1 - scsi bus 2, drive 104. Array accelerator parity read...
Thank you both for your replies. I will check to see if the management agent is installed. Otherwise I'll see if I can convince the client to wait until the drive actually fails.
Will keep you updated.
Thanks
