Servers "stop"

[Guus Ellenkamp]

I have a small network with 2 domain controllers with Windows Server 2003.
They are also used as workstations, which has worked fine, until a few weeks
ago.

Since this time they "freeze" for a few minutes like every half hour or so.
I cannot find anything in the error log and can't imagine what it is. I have
the feeling it is network related, but cannot pinpoint it.

Today I heard that when there is only one user using them everything is
fine. As soon as more users arrive, the problem starts. I have been
experimenting with IPV6, but still can't imagine why this would affect the
system(s).

Please advise.

As a first step I would keep the Task Manager running and keep an eye on the
CPU loading.

To drill down further you could start a performance log.

Use Windows Sysintenal´s Process Monitor Software to see with proccess is
causing the "spike" of the system

Read the Mark´s Blog (Mark Russinovich) to learn how to use the
Sysinternal´s tools
