Re: Question about monitoring in SBS2K3 Prem. vs. SBS2K

Jenny,

The report in Monitoring and Reporting works, but I am looking for the
monitoring interface that was in SBS2K that showed CPU usage by percentage,
memory usage by percentage, processes that have been abnormally stopped, and
certain events like memory low. I don't remember what the screen was
called, but that is what I am looking for in SBS2K3 Prem. I DON'T want to
have to run a report to view that information. I want it right there on the
screen and see instantly what the server is doing as far as cpu usage,
memory usage, disk space, etc.

Does SBS2K3 Prem. have that like SBS2K did?
