I have a win server 2003 running as a web server. The applications on it are ColdFusion and MS SQL Server.
Often the server becomes very slow or unusable, even with fewer than 10 users. Reboot fixes the problem but only temporarily.
The only strange parameter I see is that the inetinfo.exe (IIS) process runs at about 100%, regardless of the number of users on the system. It has about 35 threads, 870 handles and uses 16MB of memory. These numbers are approximately the same after reboot. System totals: 14,000 handles, 650 threads, 49 processes.
It seems to have plenty of RAM (1GB), doesn’t page too much.
I do not have Exchange on this server (which I’ve seen as a cause of inetinfo.exe problems).
Any ideas of what the problem is or where I should look?
Is there any way to find out what the threads are in inetinfo.exe to possibly find one causing problems?
Thanks.
