Performance Monitor Help

[nevets2001uk]

We have been experiencing a very slow network recently and after testing all of the network devices everything seems ok. I've now started to look at the main file server to see if it's actually that which is causing issues. The main symptom is slow access to networked files.

In performance monitor I noticed that Pages/Sec seemed quite high. Average of 2126, Min of 140 and Max of 8457.

I'm not very good with performance monitor and wanted to see if these are in fact high figures and if so what else I can monitor to diagnose this further.

The main symptom is slow access to networked files.

I've seen this happen when there is a mapped drive (or drives) to a server or share that is no longer in existence. As the issue is network wide, are your users using a logon script that maps a drive to a non-existent share or server?

Cheers.

What speeds are your switches operating at? 100 Mb/s or 1000 Mb/s?

Also Network Monitor would be a better tool to be using to determine anything wrong with the network.
