I have a Win2K server used a file server ONLY. I have notice lately that the processor has been at 100% lately in the task manager. The specs on the server are PIII 700mhz with over 600MB Ram.

Any ideas would be great

Thanks

I had this problem. You did not say what was pegging the CPU. Mine was lsass.exe. I looked in the event log and searched technet and found an answer. You will need to know what process is killing the CPU and what errors are in the event log.

Also if you are running any 16-Bit applications that will peg your processor at 100%.
