critical windows server services

[jay lentz <jay.lentz () americredit com>]

Anyone know what the most critical windows 2000 server services and processes are to monitor? Except for any 
applications installed, and not being an IIs server, or Exchange and so on,  what tells me that my windows 2000 server 
is up and running? Is there any Microsoft best practice? I cannot find anything when I google? Thanks.
