I have an SBS2000 server which is showing high CPU usage. This is being
caused by winmgmt.exe cycling the CPU from the normal to 100 per cent. This
is not a quick spike but more of a build-up over a few minutes, peaking at
100 per cent and then falling off again. The cycle happens every 30 minutes.

I have checked the properties of WMI and ensured that logging is set to
errors only, and I have tried disabling logging.

The server is up to date with all patches through Windows Update although
Windows Update stopped working at the same time that this error started.
Windows Update now just gives error 80072ee2, ie can't get a response. Maybe
that's a coincidence, maybe it's not.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
