I upgraded my HP nc8430 laptop from 1gb of RAM to 2gb today because Vista performance was just killing me.
I didn’t believe 1gb of RAM would make that big of a difference – BOY WAS I WRONG!
Vista is no longer a hinderance to me – its fast and snappy. YEAH!!!
I had already turned off all the “extras” like Aero, Defender, etc to try to make 1gb work.
What a difference 1gb of extra RAM makes…
After much frustration
- reboot
- reset wsus on client (script), wait for propogation
- reset ie security settings, resync client
- reset ie advanced settings, resync client
- review windowsupdate.log for in-depth troubleshooting

I have been so looking forward to these two features in Longhorn:
- Server Core (a barebones way to install Windows, allows “embedded” type servers like we do on Linux/Unix)
- Read-only domain controllers
A very nice article at TechTarget gives the low down. A must read for all system administrators!
