Hi Team,I have around 10 windows 2003 servers part of a domain hosted virtually using VMware. One of the Win 2003 server has hanging issues. When I log in to the server using local admin account or domain admin account the server hangs and I need to reboot the server. This does not happen all the time to all the users but happens randomly. I checked the event logs and did not find anything from it. But once when I logged I observed the task manager and found the CPU utilization to be very high due to multiple instances of regsvr32.exe. Could this be causing the hang issue? If yes, how do I go about solving the same.?Thanks in advancevinay
