Subject: [dba-Tech] SBS 2008 performance

Hello!

We're running SBS 2008 on an HP Proliant 370 G5 with a 2.67ghz processor and
12gb of ram.  I'm not an expert - (Damn it Jim, I'm an Access Developer not
a Network Administrator!) - but I'm convinced that I need to do some serious
performance tune-ups on the server.  Console response time is pokey at best,
and obscenely slow more often than I'd like - when it takes 30 seconds for
windows explorer to load, there's got to be something going on in the
background to cause it.

Can anyone give me some pointers on where to start looking for performance
issues?  Does the built-in SBS Monitoring software need to be custom-tweaked
to prevent it from negatively impact performance?  I could also use some
guidance in how to set memory usage allocations for sqlserver 2005 (we use
sql for our order processing application, and SBS uses it for monitoring and
for WSUS).

Thanks!
