Running System Center Essentials and now our end users machines are performing incredibly slow...tons of processes taking up resources. Any suggestions?

Hi, Please go to the clients, open Task Manager and see which processes are using a lot of the CPU and memories. If you find it is "Monitoringhost.exe", please try the following hotfix: The Monitoringhost.exe process may consume all the CPU resources when a large amount of performance data is created by using a managed data source module in System Center Operations Manager 2007 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/954903 Hope this helps.
