Hi,

We have migrate an old NT4.0 Server to SBS 2003 R2

Everything when fine folowing the article "Migrating from Small
Business Server 4.5 or Windows NT Server 4.0 to Windows Small
Business Server 2003"

The only issue was some errors on computer migration (cannot change
permissions on fat partition) but resolved with a convert on those
machines.

We also add new computers to the "new" domain.
The old computers are approximately 4~5 years old with windows XP (no
SP) After these old computers where migrated to the new domain, the
where running very very very slow.
The new computers are running fine

WSUS update every machines
All machines are runing SP2 now

My first idea was the SP2 apply to these machines was too heavy for
the installed RAM, but some had 256Mb and other 512Mb with the same
problem. (svchost using 100% of the available ressources)

I also saw some resolutions for the svchost, that i've apply
Install the update http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927891
Install WSUS 3.0

But still verry verry slow
Have any ideas?

Thanks

Automatic Updates is likely to blame -

Download & install the Windows Update Agent 3 from
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926464.

Re-install the KB927891 fix

Re-set Windows Update using a
batch file....

net stop "Automatic Updates"
del /f /s /q %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\*.*
net start "Automatic Updates"
wuauclt.exe /detectnow

Then reboot and run WU/Microsoft Update and make sure everything is fully
patched. You may see a couple of residual svchost.exe errors (check the
date/timestamps; they may be old) but this should do it.
