NTSM.EXE Help!!
Posted by Ron Sparks on May 19th, 2004


Everytime I install a Service Pack on our NT 4.0 server, there is a problem.
I put off installing SP6, but had to for a program I was installing. After
the service pack install, the server is running very slow. I looked in the
task manager, and I noticed that a file, ntsm.exe is running at 97 - 99%
constantly.

Does anyone know what is causing this and how to stop it?

Thank you for your help in advance!!
