Will Windows dcdiag.exe interrupt any services on a production system?

Will the running the Windows dcdiag.exe command-line tool on a Server 2008 R2 system interfere with any services on that machine?

A small amount of CPU and network traffic usage is acceptable, but the system is live and applications on the machine must remain up and running without interruption.

    didiag.exe is safe to run on a production machine. It's a reporting tool only and doesn't attempt to take corrective actions (stopping / starting services, making configuration changes, etc).
