limiting number of processes running simultaneously on win..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup (More info?)

I'm running a server application that open scheduled processes to numerous
devices running Perl scripts. Since the schedule is relative to the server
restart it often
happens that too many processes are activated on the same time throttling the
CPU of the server's machine.
Im getting errors 0xc0000142 on Perl.exe/Ping.exe processes.
I would very much appreciate help in limiting amount of processes running
simultaniously on the OS.

Thanks,
Dana.

Yes I can, however in the short term i need to know if there is a way to
limit processes on the OS level.
