No it has a RAID controller.

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 have a new install of WSUS on the server that had it before. 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?
