Some of the dos apps we use, when ran on windows 2000 (server/pro/terminal services) uses up 100% per CPU per thread.
anyone know how to limit the amount of CPU time that a process can utilize?
I have found a way that will set it to idle (0% use) after a specified amount of time, but if a user (or 25 users) are active in the app, it setis it back to 100% per processor per thread. so if 2 users are on a terminal server, each with a dos app running, it will use 100% of the servers CPU time, leaving everyone else running like a 386.
I am about 18 hours from calling Microsoft on this one. I am sure someone is going to post a reply like - mine works fine... please don't - if that is the depth of your investigation, don't post here. I need an answer/reg hack (most likely) that will do the job, and keep it from going over 5%/thread.

thanks
