Re: Windows Search ?

These are actually PC's less then a year old. I've seen it fire up 3
different memory eating resource. Ironically Google Desktop search  or
whatever it was called, was never this much of a hog...

Looking into WUS Server now - thanks Lukas. We are a smaller company and
I don't have auto update turned on anyway. Just missed it when doing
some of the updates.

Desktop Search products are pretty resource intensive, and if your PCs
where running on outdated hardware you'd likely experience serious
performance issues with WDS.

Things such as these are a good reason why you should deploy a WSUS
Server (free) or SCE/SCCM ($$$) to manage Windows Update deployments
to your corporate desktops. This way, you can ensure that only
approved updates are deployed.
