If you need to check the current CPU and RAM usage on Windows 2008, Windows 2008 R2 as well, it is a matter of right clicking on the Task Bar (Usually found on the bottom of the display) and selecting ‘Start Task Manager’:
Here on the Windows Task Manager you can see current CPU usage, keep in mind this fluctuates a lot, as well as Memory usage. In this screen the 2.67 is the memory in use, and the total memory is listed as 3071 (actually 3GB). Both numbers are useful for reference Make note of the green bar graphs as they are easy indicators:

Windows Vista, 7, Server 2008, 2008 R2 and newer Windows operating systems do not allow a user that is NOT the local Administrator access to the UNC location of c$ as it is considered an administrative share. This is a security within UAC (That I recommend leaving intact, I like security). Wiki makes mention of re enabling the access here. There is mention of this in a answer page on Microsoft here. A workaround is to create a folder and share that, then from the second machine UNC to \\hostname\sharename replacing ‘hostname’ with the hostname or IP and replacing ‘sharename’ with the name of the share created. I failed to realize this right away and was trying to connect to \\hostname\c$\sharename unsuccessfully.
