Hi,
I am running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition and I just added Active Directory services and made my computers the DNS server. I plan to just run a small network of computers in my apartment (3-4). I get my internet connection from my LinkSys router (if that makes any difference).
The upgraded to DNS server went find, AD installed fine, but now the computer takes a while to load up. Well, we all know this is normal. However, when mine boots up there is nothing in the Log on to: box, so I click it and I get "Please wait while the domain list is populated." This takes an extraordinary long time, and if I click on this drop down box again, it says the same message again and makes me wait even longer. It's absurdly long and my computer is the only one.
Also, once I finally log in, everything is dirt slow, and LSASS.EXE takes up about 51 in CPU Usage. It never did this before in the last year, nor did it do it earlier today. I don't know why my memory usage has jumped to 100% for the entire duration of my session. I am not sure why installing AD would do this. I am open to hear any suggestions. Also... logging off goes pretty quick despite how long booting up takes.
thanks...
Steven
Edit:
Oh yea, after a few minutes of waiting for the Domain List to be created, I finally selected my Domain, upon which I just got the message "Please wait while the domain list is created." ... again. :-( This is really annoying.
Edit (again! SORRY):
It appears vsmon.exe (zone alarm) was using ~50 in cpu usage too. After killing it, it seems my mem usage is back to 1-3% even and it also caused LSASS.EXE to stop using so much cpu time. odd.. any ideas here too? Thanks
