Virtual SBS2011 very slow due to lack of resources
Honored experts and fellow geeks.
I NEED YOUR HELP ASAP!!!!
I have a customer with a two year old Dell PowerEdge Server.
This server runs a full Server2008R2 with the hyper V role.
On top of this there is a Small Business Server 2011 running virtual.
This scenario has been working as a dream for the past two years.
For about a week ago, the customer started complaining that the SBS became very slow to unresponsive.
The customer haldled this by restarting the server twice a day.
If I take a closer look at the server I see that it consumes 90% CPU and that the available memory is 0 !!
However I cant see what seems to be the problem!
Event log shows no critical events for 24 hours.
Only suspecious thing is that under SERVICES I see that SQLSERVER is consuming about 10 gigs of memory but I guess this could be just normal behavior.
I REALLY WOULD APPRECIATE EVERY HINT!! :-)
I have some bonus info:
Backup Exec 2012 is installed on the host and uses an agent to access the SBS.
Antivirus is Trend Micro Worry Free Business Protection.

If you open task manager and click on processes you will be able to see what is running and consuming all the memory, how much memory was allocated to MSSQL? How much memory is in the server? What CPU does it have?

Thank you everybody for your input.
It is really mysterious because the server has been performing properly since I opened this case.
I will wait two more days, and if nothing goes wrong again, I will simply close the case splitting the point between you :-)
