ZCM 10.3.3 Agent slows down Windows 7 Workstation login

Hello together,
since we installed ZCM10 our Windows 7 workstations take extremely long time to log into Novell network.
The Novell Login Sucessfull screen appears about 2 minutes before the welcome screen appears. We noticed the following dll tries to send something.
Are there any solution to increase the performance of ZenWorks with Windows 7 workstations?
Sorry for my bad description :) Hopefuly I can answer your questions a bit better.
Greets

Was the workstation connected to a network that has access to the ZCM servers? I've seen it where it takes a long time if the agent detects a network connection but can't contact the servers. This happened to us when users took the workstations (laptops) home. Our workaround was to have them not connect to a network (turn off wireless too) until they logged into their workstation and the desktop appeared. Then they could connect to wireless.

IT help slowing down windows xp home sp2

When clicking IE6 to get to a browers, it's very slow or does not work. When I un-check itune help fron the startup box in msconfig. and re-boot, IE6 works OK. Any solution? I'm using XP Home SP2

Debbie, you may have reasons for using IE, but it's really NOT a good program. It allows all kinds of spyware and other evil issues in WinXP. I HIGHLY recommend using a free alternative such as Firefox. It's much more secure and has many more features.
It could be that something you've downloaded through IE is slowing your computer down, instead of iTunes. I run the same thing you do, with a 1.8 mhz processor, and notice no slowdown what-so-ever.
You may also want to try running some type of spyware catcher to see if that's your issue.
Good luck to you!

" Thread .join();" slow down windows system

Hi,
I'm writing a multi-thread app. My app threads are CPU-bound.
For simplicity I'm starting to develop the multi-thread using only 1 thread.
My app use "<Thread>.join();" calls for inter-thread sync.
And now ... surprise!
If I launch my app on a Athlon 3000XP+ (with linux FC6x64 with jvm 1.6.0-b15)
I obtain 54000 msec execution time.
If I launch it on a Athlon 3800x2 XP+ (with WInXP-SP2 with jvm 1.6.0_02) I
obtain 80000 msec execution time!!!
BUT, If I replace "t1.join()" with a:
while(t1.isAlive())
Thread.sleep(100);
the execution time drop down to 57000 msec (which is, in every case,
bigger than Athlon 3000 exec. time).
Seem that join() method calls subtract CPU to the CPU-intensive thread!
I have missed something?
TIA

Ah yeah. Okay. Sure.

Audition slowing down windows 7 and crashing after a few minutes of being opened

I read a previous forum post on the issue and tried the suggestions. It didn't change anything. Please help.

You haven't really supplied any detail so that someone can offer some assistance
Some info regarding which version of Audition and which version of Win7 would be good for starters and some info about your audio interface, etc would be good too
I'm going to guess that you don't have a unique copy of either Audition or Win7 and as many users on this forum have multiple versions of Audition running without incident on Win7 I'm going to also guess that the issue lies in your particular setup.
It is what is different about your setup that we need to sort out and hopefully fix
If you really do want some pain then yes buy ProTools

Server getting slow down

My windows server getting slow down
windows 2008R2 & 12 gm ram is installed but then too getting slow.

Hi
Remove nested select and if all primary keys are then use single otherwise upto 1 rows
also remove the unnecessary code like this
see the below code you added twice the amount there
delete the itab before looping
use single loop to add the values
--calculations--
LOOP AT ITAB.
IF ITAB-KSCHL <> ''.
TOTAL1 = TOTAL1 + ITAB-AMOUNT.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
DELETE ITAB WHERE KSCHL <> ''.
LOOP AT ITAB.
TOTAL = TOTAL + ITAB-AMOUNT .
ITAB-TDSWCT = ITAB-TDS + ITAB-WCT.
ENDLOOP.

CSA 5.1 causes significal slow down on windows 2000 server

We have recently installed CSA 5.1 and agents on a bunch of windows servers. All the shims and enabled and only the default policy agents for windows is enabled.
Applications which does FTP and moves files from one folder to another etc are taking significal slow down.
Processes that used to complete 3 minutes are now taking more than 30 minutes to complete. All the polcies and rules are in test mode.
Should we fine tune the rules first on disable couple of shims first to see what is the cause of this slow down. If we turn off CSA, processes run as normal.

One thing you can try is removing the host from all groups. It will still be a member of the group.
If that doesn't fix performance, remove all policies from the group (and attach them to another group to keep the rules in effect for other hosts) and see if that helps.
This should tell you if it's the agent and\or shim causing the problem, or if a rule is doing it.
Don't forget to move the policies back to the group when you are done.

Updates from HP agent ... always runs at start up and slows down computer

HP Pavilion a1222n, Win XP Home
When we first turn on the computer it is slowed down by "Updates from HP agent running" checked through the task manager.
I would like to disable the automatic running of this and run it when I want to run HP Updates. I read in another post to go to the Start > All programs> setting > select never which would allow you to chose when to run the HP update agent. I can not seem to find it on this machine, the post I read was for another model.
Thanks

Hi Ron,
Try the following.
Hold down the Windows key and press R. Into the Run box, type msconfig and hit enter. In the System Configuration window, select the Startup tab and remove the tick next to the HP Update agent. Click Apply and Ok to save the change and then restart the PC for this change to take effect.

PB slow down on windows 7 and above?

So i have a PB classic application that is on 12.5 running on windows 7. What looks like is happening is we have seen a general across the board slow down in all processes vs when it was running on XP.
It looks like the application is doing a lot of I/O to a few different registry settings:
located in
HKCU\control panel\international\
I don't have any place in the code that is doing this. So i am guessing that PB is doing it?
It looks like for some reason the I/O is getting interrupted every few seconds in windows 7 vs what it was doing in XP we think that is creating a slow down.
Does anyone know why this registry setting is being read? Or how to stop it?
Maybe if anyone knows why windows 7 and windows XP run the same PB process with the same data at two different speeds?

If your Windows 7 is x64 edition you have to consider that your application it's 10-15% slower than in 32bit environment. This overhead it's due to the operative system that emulate 32 bit application in 64bit environment.
I've find that compile in W2003 32 bit it's faster than W7 64bit with a better hardware...

Windows 7 Pro on iMac (mid 2011) and network slows down

We have an office with about 8 mid 2011 21" iMacs running Windows 7 Pro courtesy of Bootcamp. The machines boot quickly and all programs open quickly. They each have from 2 - 4 mapped network drives to a 2012 Windows Server 2008 R2 HP GL380 server on-site and are wired with Gig Ethernet HP business class switches). The users' Documents, Desktop, and a couple other directories are re-directed to the file server using an Active Directory Group Policy Object (GPO).
A couple of the computers will regularly start to slow down after only 20 or 30 minutes of use. The rest have occasionally experienced it but it's always independent of others experiencing the slowdown. The computers with the more regular slowdowns I've also booted into OS 10.7.x and the transfer rates to the same file server are fast and consistent. BTW, all computers are current on Windows updates and Apple updates.
I've tried some of the suggestions I found here: http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/950538-running-windows-7-via-bootcamp-on-mac-m ini-slows-down-over-time/
1.)
Disable all property's that has something to do with "Offload" under advanced on the nic properties.
Also disable "Recieve Side Scaling".
And set "Speed and Duplex" to auto.
2.)
Turn off windows feature "Remote Differential Compression" (Uninstall) under "programs and features".
3.)
Run fallowing command in cmd:
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled
i ran disabled on every setting i could.
so it looks like this now:
C:\Users\tab>netsh int tcp show global
Querying active state...
TCP Global Parameters
Receive-Side Scaling State : disabled
Chimney Offload State : disabled
NetDMA State : disabled
Direct Cache Acess (DCA) : disabled
Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level : disabled
Add-On Congestion Control Provider : none
ECN Capability : disabled
RFC 1323 Timestamps : disabled
4.)
Uncheck fallowing under your local area connection properties:
Link Layer Mapper I/O Driver.
Link Layer Responder.
With all of that said, do any of you have any suggestions of what to check?

Does installing Desktop Experience on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 slow down the server / increase processor usage?

Hello.
I'm running a tekkit classic (Minecraft) Server on a dedicated server I got from OVH, Im just wondering - Im currently using ClamAV for an antivirus, But I would like windows defender.
Im wondering if installing Desktop Experience on my dedi would increase processor usage or slow down the dedi even slightly.
System Specs:
RAM: 32GB DDR3 ECC 1600MHz
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1245v2
HDD: 2x2TB SATA (Both used, specified as different drives)
OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
Theres only 1 indev tekkit server currently running on there, Im getting 0-5% processor usage. I may be setting up more modpack servers - but im wondering if installing desktop experience would increase the processor usage or slow the dedi down.
Thanks.
Joseph

Windows 8.1 "explorer.exe" gradually slows down - Observation

Hi, I posted a question a year ago about Windows 8.1 gradually slows down issue, and it seems still not being solved. I recently found some new clues about this, hope it can be useful. (Please read the original post first
since it contains basic descriptions of the issue:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f9ab40a8-6681-4c66-bdbd-9de7b2fb021f/windows-81-gradually-slows-down-after-hours-speed-returns-normal-if-restart-explorerexe?forum=w8itproperf)
This issue is found to be somehow related to total Page Faults of explorer.exe since it starts. The majority of page fault is created by desktop background slide show. On my laptop, the slide show is set to randomly switch between 53 jpegs
(mostly 1920*1080) every 10 seconds. The Page Fault Delta of explorer.exe is usually 2 per second when not doing anything, and tenth to hundreds when there are some actions. But at the instance when the background is switching, it will peak to a value
between 13,000 and 30,000.
I don't know if this value is normal or not, but when the total Page Faults reaches about 20,000,000, a slight slow-down can be observed by moving your mouse up and down on the favorite bar items in IE (the right bar shown when pressing Alt+C
in IE), a slight lag can be observed. The slow down (slightly) of normal windows can be observed when Page Faults reaches about 40,000,000. At that time, the mouse lag on favorite bar items becomes much more obvious. After another few hours, the slow-down
will become more serious.
I tried to disable the slide show by only using one background image, the total Page Fault stays low and the slow-down issue does not occur after one day (the Page Fault after one day is also far less than 20,000,000). That's why restarting explorer.exe
can temporarily fix it. I tried it on 2 other Windows 8.1 computers and get the same results. Maybe there is some memory allocation or fragmentation problem building up? One thing I don't know is that if this is caused by the background slide show itself,
or if explorer.exe in general will slow down after experimenting enough page faults.

Polyhedron,
This main reason of this issue is not the Windows system. A page fault occurs under these situation:
1. A program requests an address on a page that is not in the current set of memory resident pages.
2. The virtual memory system has become unstable because of a shortage of physical memory (RAM).
3. The virtual memory system has become unstable because of a shortage of free disk space.
4. The virtual memory area is corrupted by a program.
5. A program is attempting to access data that is being modified by another program that is running.
Please refer this blog to determine it's hard faults or soft faults.
The Basics of Page Faults
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2008/06/10/the-basics-of-page-faults.aspx
In addition, from your description, since the background slide itself is without problem, I suspect the root is your ram. Try to increase the amount of memory or reduce the cache size for test.

Windows 8.1 gradually slows down after hours. Speed returns normal if restart "explorer.exe".

I have Windows 8.1 Pro (x64) installed on Alienware M17x. The slowdown mostly appears as slow response in the situation such as open a folder/window, open/close/switch tabs in IE, drag window, and there's also cursor lag. It gradually
slows down after system boot, noticeable after 3-4 hours, really slow after 8-9 hours.
I have thought about many possible processes which can cause this issue, and then I found out that it's caused by "explorer.exe". If I kill "explorer.exe", the speed suddenly becomes normal. Then, I restart explorer.exe
again, it stays normal, and then it still gradually slows down again after hours.
I have checked driver or software compatibility. Also, CPU usage and Disk usage is normal.
Please give some advises, reasoning, or solutions.

SaccoSVD
The process that is causing the problem is called sidebar.exe and I am curious why it is running on a win 8 machine as I dont believe it is built in. (It seems to have over 22,000 instances launched so I suspect either malware or a broken app)
It is usually associated with a Vista machine, or updated win 7 machine. Did you do do a clean install? Have you run a malwarebytes scan?
Please download the free version of Malwarebytes.
Update it immediately.
Do a full system scan
Let us know the results at the end.

The "WIndows 8.1 explorer slows down gradually" thread.

The (now locked) previous thread was:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f9ab40a8-6681-4c66-bdbd-9de7b2fb021f/action?threadDisplayName=windows-81-gradually-slows-down-after-hours-speed-returns-normal-if-restart
I don't know why it is locked anyway, as EMKOEMKO was one of the "founders" of that thread months ago.
So... to summarize:
Explorer.exe has some sort of problem in windows 8.1, the system UI gradually becomes more and more unresponsive/jerky. Most notably DWM related funtions. As soon as you relaunch explorer.exe the problem dissappears and gradually comes back after a few hours.

Hi,
Compare the two process monitor logs, the log with the problem shows that the explorer.exe access the shellex more frequently and last a longer time than the log without problem, explorer issue can usually caused by imcompatible shell extensions, we can
use ShellExView to check if it is the culprit, run ShellExView, in the pane sort the entries with manufacturers. Disable all non-Microsoft *.dll files, and check the result. If the issue does not occur, one of the files can be the culprit. We could narrow
down it one by one.

Many Flash vector objects on a page slows down responsiveness to freezes (Windows 8 IE 10 Flash 11)

Hello, I use Windows 8 Pro x64 on my Core 2 Quad, Internet Explorer 10 (desktop mode) with Flash 11.7.700.169.
When I'm on site with Flash vector animations which use some input controls (i.e. I can manipulate objects in the Flash frame with my mouse) it seriously slows down IE (scrolling, text input) down to freezes. It doesn't matter whether mouse pointer is over the Flash or somewhere else on the page but the more Flash frames on the page - the greater speed drops. CPU consumption by iexplorer.exe process on that pages is constantly around 25-40%.
Disabling Flash avoids the issue.
I did a clean install twice so it doesn't look like a specific installation issue. In Modern IE this is less noticeable but still persist.
Moreover, on the same machine I previously had Windows 7 Professional x64 with Internet Explorer 10 and Flash ActiveX 11.7.700.202 and did not experience that kind of problems.
I have tried Chrome and Firefox with the Flash plugin of the latest version and they were fine - no noticeable lags or freezes.
I did some more research and replaced ActiveX Flash files (Flash.ocx, FlashUtil_ActiveX.dll, FlashUtil_ActiveX.exe) both 32 and 64 bit with that from Windows 7 and then vector flash objects on the page did not show up but streamed objects worked well. I replaced Flash.ocx with Windows 8 version and vector ads showed up but lags came back as well.
Finally I replaced all files of version 11.7.700.202 with files of version 11.5.502.146 and suddenly they worked very well - no lags or freezes, smooth scrolling etc.
So the question now is how to deal with further Flash updates for Windows 8? Is there any way to find out what is the cause of lags and freezes in version 11.7.700.202 for IE on my Windows 8 machine?
My current config:
Core 2 Quad 9550 @ 2.83
GeForce GTX 580
8Gb RAM
256Gb SSD
Windows 8 Pro x64 + NVidia driver 320.18 + Flash 11.7.700.202
I.e. the page that causes huge slowdowns - www.stopgame.ru

<sigh> Try asking your question on a forum for the Flash Player - this one is for Director's Shockwave Player

After instailling iTunes 7.4.1 for Windows, my system slows down to a crawl

After downloading and installing iTunes 7.4.1 for Windows XP Professional, my system slows down horribly, and I cannot seem to find out why. Rebooting before installing this version of iTunes did not take long at all, yet after installing iTunes, rebooting takes at least 4 times as long, and the system runs very slowly/poorly. What has caused this problem? I have other friends who have HP Pavilion laptops using Windows XP who are using iTunes and iPods with no problems at all. I have restored my system back to the state before installing iTunes in SAFE MODE, but now I am unable to use my iPod or iTunes. Anyone having this problem?

In my experience iTunes has never been stable in a Windows operating system. If it's not one thing it's another. Right now I'm having video play back issues with tv shows on iTunes, good thing I have the iPhone now so I can watch them on there.
