Carly,
Thanks for the help. The support tools are an old friend of mine, however I
believe I have found the source of the problem with help from Solar Winds
Orion network monitor. One Allied Telesyn managed switch that was suffering
60% packet loss. This switch connected most of our servers together. I am
annoyed at myself for focussing too tightly on Windows server issues and not
checking the LAN beyond simple pings.
Purchasing some network management / monitoring software is at the top of my
list. Not sure we can afford the $14,000 for the full Orion software. Does
MOM offer any network performance management?
New switch going in Thursday morning, I will post back here tomorrow in case
anyone is interested!
Cheersm
Andy.
