internet on exchange 2003 slow
Hi guys,
I'm having trouble browsing the internet from exchange 2003 suddenly. Recently introduced new 2008 r2 DC running alongside 2003 Dc (been a few months) but all has been running well since the upgrade. No DNS errors clients/ servers accessing OK/ not using a relay. Fully patched and running eset on exchange box - no virus hopefully. Pages are very slow load. Any ideas?

It sounds like a DNS issue. What do you have set for the DNS servers on the Exchange box?

Yes sorry, server 2003. Fairly newish server, so spec is fine. IE and Chrome. server not used for browsing but I did notice it was very slow today. Primary DNS set to new 2008 r2 server, as are most of the clients and the secondary dns to the older 2003 r2 server. Ran dcdiag /dns and there are no errors on DNS servers which are also the GC's too,- nslookup showing ok and there are no queues, so sending and receiving is also ok.
Ok, on the new 2008 server have you setup Forwarders on the DNS console settings?
DNS Console - right click servername - properties
Forwarders tab
Enter your ISP's DNS servers, OpenDNS, Google's DNS...etc...
With those additions it should be faster

Yes, using forwarders on on both servers for ISP and Google and root hints also checked, but no problem from the 50 workstations accessing the net except for exchange box?
So the exact same DNS primary and secondary entries on this server and the relevant clients are the same?
Can you ipconfig /all from server and 1 client just to be sure?

Ok, and the 2nd DC also has its Forwarders section setup like the main DC?
That link shouldn't be needed since as you mention you are using Forwarders...

Seems to be OK but still a bit slow
What spec is the server?
What browser? IE? What version?
Not sure why you'd want to browse the internet from a server...did you try installing Chrome to see if any difference?
