Re: server is using 100% cpu

You didn't answer my question about why you're using Kerio and what kind of
performance impact it may have. Certainly 512 MB RAM is too little and needs
to be increased. Most of us recommend 2 GB for SBS 2003 SE and more if you
have PE and are running SQL. Also I didn't see a response to Anna's question
about task manager and what it shows for the process that is consuming so
much CPU? You did state in another post "I forgot to tell this in the mail
it is system that is eating CPU" but how are you determining that and
exactly what about mail is eating the CPU?

Thanks for all your help guys. I've read 3 comments about the ram in my
system. This server has been up for a year. the CPU problem is only been
around for two to three months. So I have the feeling that it has little
to
do with that but I could be wrong. As I told earlier the problem is only
three months old. So I was more thinking along the lines of a Microsoft
update of the clients or the server. What do you guys thing about
reinstalling SP1 and seeing what happens?

I have a Proliant ML 350 PIII 1.13 GHz and 512 MB of RAM. I run a
standard
SBS 2003 on it. The only other software that is running on that system is
Kerio Winroute Firewall. The network has 10 clients.

The system was working perfectly until about three months ago. I, for as
far
as I can remember, havened changed anything on that system. It is running
at
100% CPU. I think it has something to do with continuous communication
with
the clients. This communication uses 10% of one of the network cards. It
seems to have all two do with Microsoft-DS. This all happens so far under
water that I have no clue how two fix this.
