SYMPTOMS
The initial values for the Microsoft Exchange Performance Optimizer are read from the following Windows NT registry key:   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\PerWiz\Question States Because this is part of the HKEY_CURRENT_USER tree, the value will be dependent upon the Windows NT login.

These setting are display settings and do not reflect the actual performance enhancement settings that have been made to the registry from running the Performance Optimizer.



MORE INFORMATION
To understand this problem, let's use the following example:

User A logs into the Windows NT Server and runs the Microsoft Exchange Performance Optimizer and changes the Estimated # of users to 101-250.

User B logs into the Windows NT Server and runs the Microsoft Exchange Performance Optimizer. The Estimated # of users does not reflect the change that user A made.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
