Problems with slow RD120 and Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise (32bit) [ Edited ]

[TSCH]

Hello,

I just installed Windows R2 2003 Enterprise SP2 to a RD120 with 10GB RAM.

Everything went fine installing Windows and VMware Server.

After copying a vm-guest from another Windows-host and opening the vm-console on the RD120 the whole system nearly freezes when starting the vmware-console, showing normal cpu-usage (1-2%) in the taskmanager (???)

It takes minutes after the console opens.

Any idea what could be wrong?

I have two 500GB SATA hdds running as RAID-1 using the onboard Raid-Controller.

Thanksa lot in advance for your help.

Edit:

Seems that VMware has nothing to do with my problem.

When copying over network the server nearly freezes (rdp-connection) but nothing in the task-manager cpu-utilisation is 1%.

Starting the vm-guest takes a looooooooot of time.

Do you have any advice what could be wrong on our system?

Thanks a lot.

Kind regards

TSCH
