System CPU Usage?

[Guest]

One of our servers at work seems to be having an issue

Every day for a few hours on & off, going into Task Manager, Processes, then
sorting by CPU Usage will show that the 'System' process uses between 60-90%
constantly. Is there any way to find out what this 'System' is. Im guessing
that its the general windows system and if thats the case, is there any way
to find out what part of the system is using it? This is becoming quite
tedious, and since its our domain controller & file server, alot of things
are becoming quite s l o w ..

thanks

From a command prompt;
netstat -aon
then;
tlist -s
now match up the PID > Image name

You can extract the tlist.exe utility from the Support.cab file from the
Windows 2000 installation CD's Support\Tools folder

Ah

I should've mention it was a win2k server, not win2k3. the netstat on win2k
doesn't have the -o option, is there any way to get the win2k3 netstat to run

You can also use Task Manager|Processes tab. Choose to display the PID
column.

Yep

But how do I see what connection is causing it? I've got

System, with a PID of 8, using 92% CPU Usage

I can't run the netstat.exe from windows 2003 server, on a windows 2000 server

I thought you were after the process detail.
tlist -s
