Windows / Microsoft Updates very slow

We run a SBS2003 SP2 server 4 GB which controls DCHP etc, we get very slow downloads of Microsoft updates, it does not matter if the operating system is XP or 7, updates can take days to download.  I tried Cat 5 / wireless.  If I take a home machine updates work fine.  I changed the DNS on the server at the present time, it is using a public DNS, but it made no difference.

Try to post in this forum of specific SBS instead: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/smallbusinessserver/threads ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft

  • Satellite U940 Windows 10 update, very slow start to the top

    Hello

    It looks after upgrade to win10, the SSD is not used to quickly boot up the laptop.
    How can this problem be solved?

    In tools, defragment disc, it shows all of my partitions as SSD drive so I can't defragment.
    Why are they displayed as SSD? I think that the basic motivation is a 500 gb HHD and only a 32 GB SSD is included.

    Also in the management of the computer disk SSD drive shows only 11.22 GB of capacity and is not used (all 11.22 GB free)

    Help, please. I want to get the quick start of the win8.1 and at the same time be able to defragment my HARD drive.

  • my windows xp is very slow

    Please help me

    my windows xp is very slow, when startup is also very slow, that it takes 5 to 6 minutes only to windows startup. and when you open the app also very slow. I tried to clean up using reg cleaning etc. all the product (but trial ones), disk cleanup and defragmentation. I don't know what to do anymore.

    Please help me

    I suggest that you tell us more about your system and then do a few scans for malware and fix performance issues.

    It makes no sense to try to resolve a performance problem on the system without knowing anything about it or who might have an infection on this subject.

    I suggest you stop "try" things too and if you can tell us the names of the cleaner and other products that you have already tried that would be good to know (so we do not suggest that you already have).

    When we have a known starting point, then begin to fix things (don't try things).

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    Fill in the blank: my system worked well until: _.

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Msinfo32

    Click on OK and when the system info summary appears, click on Edition, select all, copy, and then paste the information here.

    For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.

    There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.

    This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.

    Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    The scans by operating clean, then to solve any problems.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

  • Windows/Microsoft Update crashes, takes all the CPU can't be fixed by all the recommendations I found

    Windows XP, SP3, it worked fine. Suddenly Windows/Microsoft Update crashes and uses all the CPU while trying to assess what needs to be updated. The only way to stop him is to kill the process.

    A ran Fixit from Microsoft (support.microsoft.com/kb949104), who said that he repaired the window update, but could not fix "problems installing the recent updates. Nothing else was not fixed.

    If I look at the properties of the de...\System32\wuaueng.dll I have the most recent version for XP (7.6.7600.256).

    I know that the support for XP will end this year, but I want to Microsoft Update to work down there.

    Any help appreciated. Thank you

    You are welcome.

    How about that.  Don't you love it when a plan comes together?  Windows updates only or material for pilots also and then update windows is good, but for a more broad ability of other applications Microsoft, then Microsoft Update and Office update is good for a shopping for updates of every Microsoft product you have.

    You suppose wrongly, and I thought I answered this before.  Technically, you can re-enable the automatic updates but that will require you disabling updates every Monday just before black Tuesday and then manually download and install the cumulative security update newly released and restart before you activate the updates automatic (or notifications only) once more.  It is more reliable just disable automatic updates and do not have the headache.  Disable the horse of notification that is displayed in the status bar, and that you don't mind.

    Please mark this thread as a response.  Thank you.

    To not argue the point, but XP users required the kind of brilliant 'support' who gave XP since the time of the IE7 to IE8 'false upgrade' users XP need like a hole in the head.

  • How can I activate the installation "hide update" in Windows/Microsoft update

    Last week I was constantly asked to install an update for Windows XP SP3 (security for Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 and 3.5 SP1 on Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP x 86 (KB2418241).) It was first installed in October 2010. I installed it 8 times since March 2, but continue to receive reminders. The ability to hide updates is absent from Windows/Microsoft update. How can I fix.

  • (Windows 2000) Error #0x80072EFE when you try to run Windows/Microsoft Update

    Hello world. I hope you don't mind offering support for a Windows 2000 based platform here, (I don't think Windows Update deferred much, if at all between the two operating systems)

    In any case, all of a sudden, I get error 0x80072EFE in Windows Update all of a sudden. I tried several troubleshooting steps, delete the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution to just reboot my computer. Nothing seems to work, and I hope someone has a step that will be.
