We're running Ops Mgr 2007 R2. We have a citrix server farm where users mainly run one program. Occassionally one or two iterations of this program (process) will go nuts and consume vast amounts of CPU. Will the Process Monitor abilities of R2 be able to alert on these high utilization issues with one of many of the same process? Thanks, Eric

You can monitor CPU\memory usage with process monitor. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd362689.aspx http://OpsMgr.ru/
