CRM 365 takes long time to open new case window

Posted on by 210

Hello. I am administering a CRM 365 server (on-premise) which recently got implemented. CRM 365 is running on two separate virtual machines: an application and database server. The hard disk drive of the host machine has been configured as RAID 10. I have noticed that some users can open a new case window with no problem, while when other users try to open a new case window, it takes several minutes to load before it opens up. The strange thing is that these end users are using the same type of computer with exact same specifications. I also monitored the CRM 365 servers using task manager during this time and the resource usage is not even at the maximum. What could be the cause? Is there a way to troubleshoot this? Below are the specifications for the CRM 365 application and database servers as well as the end user computers:

CRM application server:

  • CPU: 2.2 GHz (2 cores)
  • RAM: 8 GB
  • Hard disk: 300 GB

CRM database server:

  • CPU: 2.2 GHz (2 cores)
  • RAM: 15 GB
  • Hard disk: 300 GB

End-user computers:

  • CPU: i3 3.40 GHz
  • RAM: 4 GB
  • Hard disk: 465 GB

    Hello,

    If it's an issue only for subset of users server characteristics are not related to issue at all. I believe it's related to something PC-related like browser (and especially different addons that users love to install) or to firewall.

    My recommendation:

    1. Try to turn off firewall on pc with issue and check if issue is resolved.

    2. Try to use different browser and check current browser for addons installed. Based on my experience I remember situation when addon that shown weather caused huge issues with performance. Once addon was disabled performance restored.
