    Win 2008 Server Std x64 extremely slow

    I'm running a new HP DL360G6 with Windows Server 2008 x64. What I'm running into is that the Windows Explorer process is painfully slow. If you browse around in folders and files, it takes 3-5 seconds to load each screen.

    We're running a time and attendance system on this server, and all of the software relating to that system performs as expected.

    Today, I restarted the server to install Windows Updates, and it's been configuring updates for the last 30 minutes (there were only 10 smaller updates). I'm guessing that this should mean that none of the other processes (time and attendance or A/V) should be the cause, as they wouldn't be loaded as of when it's "configuring updates".

    Any thoughts? This isn't an R2 server, so maybe I need to upgrade?
    Ludicrous gibs!

    If it's only explorer that is slow and everything else runs fine then I would look at what shell extensions you have installed. If possible try uninstalling anything that has added extensions to explorer one at a time and see if that resolves it.

    For what it's worth I have a few servers running 2008 x64 and explorer runs fine.

      How much RAM?
      You don't have any drives mapped to a server that no longer exists to you? Disconnect them if you do.

      I've seen Windows sit applying updates for ages, best to do them overnight when people aren't using the server.

        get a Linux live disk,
        it's a good way to see if a problem is caused by software or hardware.

          something drive related? or the 64bit driver?

            Reloaded with 2008 R2, problem went away.
