I have Windows 2000 advanced server up and running. It was running fine until I install the SP1. Now it is running very slow. Can anyone tell me what may be causing this and where I can go to help me find and fix the problem.
Thank You

Word on the street is "only install SP1 if it fixes a specific problem that you can't work around."

What else are you running on your server? SP1 makes some changes to the TCP/IP stack, so some programs can be broken by SP1 (mostly software firewalls, but I think there has been some others). Go to www.microsoft.com/technet and check the knowledge base for possably similar problems.

I would agree with the first user. Don't install SP-1 unless you have a specific problem. I haven't used it at work on any machines yet. Quite frankly because it hasn't been out long enough.
