Hey guys,
Unfortunately I'm getting another one of these problems where computers seem to work fine, however they then perform extremely slowly. Sadly there appear to be no processes or applications that are taking up the resources the computer has available. The computers are Dell GX270's, and they appear to begin acting slowly when they are joined to the domain here at my client. The machines do only have 256mb of memory, however from my past experience, they are acting much more slowly than they should be, even with the small amount of memory.
I thought to have rectified this issue, by updating the Intel NIC Driver on the machine. However walking in this morning, it was reported to me that one of the Sergeant's experienced extreme slowness issues last night. Another thing I would like to report is that there is another machine in that office, and the computer used to never be really slow, however when I was working on the primary one over the holiday, the secondary was being used and now is being slow also. As much as I would like to relate this to profiles, roaming profiles are disabled so I don't believe this to be the case.
I also want to add that just the other day, I reformatted this machine completely, started brand new, and reinstalled everything. When I joined it to the domain, is when I noticed the extreme slowdown issues.
Any ideas on where I can start to troubleshoot this?
