Hi,

we have some performance problems with a HMC 4.5 environment.

Every request against the MPS takes about 30seconds. I traced the requests and I realized that every operation against the Active Diretory takes a long time. Every other action is faster.

The problem is not based on hardware problems. It is an Windows Server 2003 environment and the DomainController has enough memory and CPU power.

Does everyone has an idea how to fix this performance problem? This problem is unacceptable at our frontend.

Best regards,

Ken

Check your internal DNS first.

What should I check there?

Do you have multiple domain controller deployed?

Can you resolve your MPS/AD/FE server name correctly on each server through your primary DNS server?

How about using provtest.exe instead of Sample UI?

We have done an schema extension in AD. Writing to the new attribute via MPS took about 40seconds. Without wrinting to this attribute, it takes only 4 seconds. :-) Thats nice.

The creation of a mailbox takes now about 14seconds. Is this normal in am HMC environment?

Hi

   14 secs is a bit longer than normal, however, it's not unacceptable. I have no idea how to find the root cause, hope other people here can give you some help.

How long is normal?

How long is normal?

It's hard to tell you a exact value, time is different depends on your hardware configuration.

Less than 10 secs seems reasonable.
