Hmmm... strange. I just connected again as before using console connection with Remote Desktop and had no permissions issue.<br />
<br />
Thanks anyway!

Hi,<br />
<br />
I run an application as a service that is crashing occasionally and I have been advised that I should set it to use only one processor. This server is dual processor with hyperthreading so sort of has 4 processors.<br />
<br />
I initially assumed I could do this from Task Manager but I get Access Denied (I'm logged on with Administrator permissions). I've found info on Affinity Masks but that seems to affect all applications.<br />
<br />
How do I do this?<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

How to set processor affinity for specific application/service

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
