In my network, sometimes my user's laptops freeze during the logon script.
Well the computers don't actually freeze, they just don't move beyond the
logon script. When I go into task mamager, cpu is running at 100% (2 gb ram
and very new processors) and the process taking up the most memory (48,748k)
is svchost.exe. I think it's associated with the windows search indexing but
I'm not completely sure. On the Microsoft support site I saw that I could
use the command tasklist /svc to see what is running in svchost. But I
haven't figured out yet how to determine exactly what this svchost process is
assoicated with so I can prevent it from running all the time. Any
suggestions?
Thanks,
Jeremy

Bring up Task Manager, select Processes tab, select View, Select Columns...,
check box PID (Process ID).

Now you can see PID next to the svchost and compare it with tasklist.
