Windows Update

Disk space

Verify that the drives have sufficient free disk space.

Folders

On the Primary Server check the folder with the server name. Use a text editor such as Notepad to open DIRSIZE.TXT and check that the number of files in a folder is not causing a performance problem on the server. This can happen in folders not automatically maintained by NOM Maint such as Personal areas, and MOS folders. Generally, folders should not contain more than several thousand files.

Backups

Utilize a networked backup solution to either take a regular snapshot of the server or to incrementally backup the data recommended above.
