How to know what process is running when svchost.exe uses up 99% of CPU?
We have a Win 2003 server as domain controller. Its CPU utilization reaches 99% for 10 minutes pretty much from 5pm till 5:10pm almost every day. When it happens, I can see the process "svchost.exe" uses up about 99% of CPU. What could be wrong? Is there any way to know what specific process (other than svchost.exe) is using up the CPU?
open a CMD prompt and run tasklist /svc

seth2740 has a point there - you must identify the cause of the problem and eliminate it, if possible.
