IT pros have allot of great tools that we can use to troubleshoot situations. Clint Huffman has a great blog that walks through how he troubleshoots some of the issues he sees in the field. The latest post by Clint explains how he investigates high CPU usage on a BizTalk server. He walks through the use of PAL, Process Monitor, Process Explorer, WINDBG, and a few others. The great part about the post is how to use all of these tool to find the root issue. I personally find these post very helpful as it helps me better understand how to troubleshoot issues in my own environment. Also the post hints that PAL 2.0 will be released very soon. If you have not kept up with PAL 2.0 the big change is that it is built on PowerShell. I can’t wait to see what improvements have been made.
