Most of my users are Outlook 2010. There are a few 2013's.
95% are in cached Exchange mode.
Several users have secondary email accounts lunder their primary account. I think those are cached too, following their primary account setting.
Many users have 10+GB of email.
One user has about a hundred folders in his primary account.
We've upgraded several users to SSDs to alleviate issues with disk writing speeds. CPU and RAM are fine. Things like Outlook starting and SEP probably trying to scan things are noticeably slowing down some machines with regulard hard drives.
I'm curious what SEP is doing when a user initially starts Outlook (whether it's in cached Exchange mode of not).
And what SEP does when a user signs into an existing Windows profile.
I'm assuming it's scanning -- scanning when they log into Windows for anything different (things like Dropbox starting to sync up and that gets scanned), scanning when they start Outlook and Outlook makes all the connections and that gets scanned.
is that correct? Anything else going on?
We don't want to remove email scanning, weekly full scans, and scan-on-write. If being virus-free means machines are a little sluggish for now, that's how it is.
