LOL, well the server just runs WSUS, Spiceworks and is an extra DC. It doesn't have to be anything too powerful. I did figure out how to make it faster though. There was a logon issue with the internal database. I set it to logon as local system and sped right up and there wasn't anymore login errors with sql.

WSUS 3.0 have the tool to help you clean up the data base now. Perhap it's slow because it is still downloading all the update packages for the first time. Btw, my laptop run about 3, 4 time faster compare to your server :-D :-P.

This time round I am finding that WSUS is running very slow listing and approving updates and just very slow in general. The only difference is that now the machine is a DC. I saw some info about running a SQL script that is supposed to speed it up but its very dated. Anyone else have this problem before? Full disclosure: This server is old. P3 1.4GHz w/ 768MB but it didnt run this slow before. Maybe its the added overhead of having AD now?
