  A client brought in a laptop that was part of a workgroup. They hooked it up 
  to the SBS03 network, entered domain credentials when prompted by 
  applications or Windows Explorer, and were satisfied, if not thrilled, with 
  its performance. (It's a Pentium III with 128 MB RAM.) I said "this laptop 
  ought to be part of the domain!" So I created an account for it on the 
  server, used the ConnectComputer wizard to join it to the domain, installed 
  W2K SP4 and all the critical updates, and figured all would be OK. But now 
  the client reports that the computer is unbearably slow when accessing 
  network resources (Outlook, IE, server-based docs, a database program). I 
  see no errors in either the server or laptop log to indicate DNS or other 
  communication errors. CPU usage on the laptop is between 1% and 5%. Memory 
  usage slightly exceeds 128 MB, but I have a feeling that was the case before 
  my intervention. No process is using a ridiculously high amount of RAM. SMB 
  signing is disabled via Group Policy.
  I'm heading over there tomorrow morning. Any ideas, other than uninstalling 
  SP4 and taking it out of the domain again?
