Performance degredation following Office 2007 SP1 install on 2003

[Guest lamaslany]

When SP1 for Office 2007 was released we installed it on our Windows Server

2003 x64 terminal servers in the hope it would fix some of the issues we'd

been experiencing with Office Communicator 2007. Unfortunately this rendered

our terminal servers unusable and we had to nuke and rebuild to get going

again.

 

The problem seemed to affect Outlook users with the performance degrading to

a point where it would take a user more than five minutes to open an email.

 

Annoyingly though this did not seem to affect the first dozen or so users

that connected to the servers - only those that connected past that

(approximate) limit. The more users that connected the worse the degredation

got.

 

I've only been able to find a handful of similarly affected users

(http://www.experts-exchange.com/Microsoft/Applications/Q_23084480.html)

 

There is a proposed workaround but in our case the cause does not fit - we

were using Office Communicator 2007 with OCS2007.

 

 

I've been unable to find a Microsoft KB covering this - has anyone else come

across this issue?
