CPU 100% on VM in VMWare
Hi,I have SBS2011 running as virtual machine in ESXi 5.5 and it is showing 100% CPU utilization when there is no user working today.
I confirmed in snapshot manager that this VM is not running on a snapshot. Virtual machine backup has been performed on this VM hours ago. No user is connected to SBS2011 currently.
I know I can reboot this VM, but I like to find out what is causing this.
What is the best way to find out what is causing this constant high CPU%?

Sort Task Manager by CPU Utilization High to Low and it should point to a process

Here it is.
I see that SqlServer is running upt ot 95%.
This is, I think, related to the problem that I experienced. Please see my other posting.

Well that at least shows you what is eating the CPU alive and how to check it. I'll take a look at the other post.
Do you have any non default SQL applications running on the server?
If not then restart the following services one at a time and monitor the CPU usage to isolate which SQL service is causing the issue:
SQL Server (SBSMONITORING)
SQL Server (SHAREPOINT)
Windows Internal Database (MICROSOFT##SSEE)

Excellent. There was a case just the other day where WSUS was causing that ling of CPU utilization. Are you running WSUS?

Unfortunately I am going to have to object. I gave hi the answer. I think he was just a little confused about how to close the question since it was a link to yet another question.
