They will help you track down the issue. No idea what I'm looking for while it's lagging, though. The processors are at idle, network utilization is idle, disk throughput is idle, memory access is idle.
If restarting the ADDC on the box resolves the issues for a time, it would appear that it's likely there is a resource leak in the ADDC service process - could be memory, could be a blocking queue growth, etc. Performance Monitor, tasking against this specific process, might be your best place to start. On many of our servers which were working greate with as u mention we saw a decrease in performance over network performance once we got up and running x64 Enteprise as well.
Otherwise, my history tells me, when really wiered stuff is happening, check the drivers and try updating them Hmm also something about what you said before Said you ran on this for 2 years.
I am asking this now, is all of your hardware certified? If it's several years old I find it hard to belive it's ready, if it's not several years old I'd go with the suggestion from fizban2.
I know this post hasn't been active for about a year, but I am having the exact same issue, very strange. Was wondering if you ever found a solution or cause? Since initial install It has been acting this way but we thought it was due to lack of memory at the time 2GB. We just put 8GB into it and it is still horridly slow, about 7 min just to view the "Administrative Tools" menu from the Start menu. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment.

This customer simply doesn't have the cashflow at the moment to install a brand new server, same answer holds true as to why we don't just throw SSDs in there.
I appreciate that many people simply wouldn't support or work on this server configuration given it's age. But as a small IT provider working for a very small company, the issues at hand seem as though they are configuration issues - and not just an "old age" issue.
Their VMs are not very resource intensive, so that's why I wanted to see if there were optimizations I could make on the VMs configs to help things out. They were running VMware 5.

The first best practice is to find what the problem is. Just randomly turning knobs to try to make things perform better isn't actually a troubleshooting method on vSphere or Hyper-V, or KVM or any hypervisor. Over allocating memory to the point of swapping is also a problem you can cause on Hyper-V. In general, the Paravirutal NICs are recommended, but again you need to identify what the problem is before you try to solve it.
Again, you would need to first identify networking as a problem and then work towards a root cause. You are going to waste a lot more money and time just going around tuning performance knobs without identifying WHY it is slow, and in general that's something that can be hypervisor agnostic to start the diagnostic of. Default settings are pretty excellent for most of the use cases anyway. You could theoretically move their File Server or Sharepoint Server to Azure to reduce the current server's workload.
That will surely speed things up, leaving more resources for the App Server. Replace Attachment. Add link Text to display: Where should this link go? Often the mmc complaints about snap-ins not responding. Eventually server manager or Exchange manager will open op, but they are slow to respond to user inputs. The server does not use all the 8GB ram. Currently it's using 6,8 GB. I will take a look at the vSphere troubleshooter. Thanks for the link.
I can say now that the VMWare host is not overcommitted. Two physical processors, each with 4 cores and ht. There are 5 other VM's running on the same host without problems. Storage is a SAN solution. Office Office Exchange Server. Often the mmc complaints about snap-ins not responding.
