Hello all,
I have a 2008 standard server with WSUS service installed. My question is why wsusservice.exe is creating csrss.exe as a child along with winlogon.exe when everywhere I have read says csrss.exe should only be the child of smss.exe.
I have checked with multiple other servers and desktops (win8,7,2k12,2k8 without wsus) and smss is always the parent of csrss.exe. So I am guessing it has something to do with the WSUS service but I am not sure why it would be creating csrss.exe and winlogon.exe.
Any help would greatly be appreciated!
P.S I cant provide much info because IT wont let me but I am in the process of trying to recreate the situation in some VM's. If I can reproduce the csrss.exe occurrence I will post process details.
The only info I have currently is that Wininit.exe is the parent to services.exe, which is the parent to wsusservices.exe which is the parent to csrss.exe.
Thanks,
Chris
