Re: WSUS Slowness
The SQL script that you are talking about is for WSUS 2.0 . 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.

RE: WSUS Slowness
If you were using WSUS 2 before, I've found that 3 is slower. On Thu, Jul 17, 2008 at 7:50 AM, James Kerr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a new install of WSUS on the server that had it before.

RE: WSUS Slowness
Hmm, I would swear that leaving behind the web interface for an MMC snap-in has made navigating, approving updates and such faster in WSUS 3. But I never did a good apples-to-apples comparison before and after.

Re: WSUS Slowness-solved
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.

RE: WSUS Slowness
Is there a directly connected drive which contains the AD database (sysvol)? Directly connected = SCSI, SAS, SATA, IDE, withOUT any RAID controller. If so the write caches on those directly connected drives are disabled when it's a DC. If you want to call that added overhead of having AD, feel free.

RE: WSUS Slowness
Hmm, I just noticed the grade of hardware you're talking about. Hard to believe you considered it acceptable before. Taskmgr.exe is your friend, check the memory load and CPU utilization while waiting for WSUS to do things, and also the CPU load when not asking WSUS to do things. That will reveal all. -Original Message- From: James Kerr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2008 12:52 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: WSUS Slowness No it has a RAID controller. - Original Message - From: Carl Houseman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: NT System Admin Issues ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2008 12:40 PM Subject: RE: WSUS Slowness Is there a directly connected drive which contains the AD database (sysvol)?
