Is there a directly connected drive which contains the AD database (sysvol)?
Directly connected = SCSI, SAS, SATA, IDE, withOUT any RAID controller. If so the write caches on those directly connected drives are disabled when it's a DC. If you want to call that "added overhead of having AD", feel free.

I wiped the drive and reinstalled everything. This time round I am finding that WSUS is running very slow listing and approving updates and just very slow in general. The only difference is that now the machine is a DC. I saw some info about running a SQL script that is supposed to speed it up but its very dated. Anyone else have this problem before? Full disclosure: This server is old. P3 1.4GHz w/ 768MB but it didnt run this slow before. Maybe its the added overhead of having AD now?
