I did use tasklist, but Perfmon in 2008 gives far more information and will work even if Task Manager doesn't. Task list will give you the PID, but perfmon will give you the additional information you need to use the filter arguments if you wish to terminate specific processes that exceed a certain threshold.

Just use tasklist without arguments, you get all the running processes. See tasklist /? for all the valid switches. It keeps amazing me that windows admins just do not know this kind of stuff :-) Could you not open the taskmanager from the shell: taskmgr.exe ?
