With Multiple CPUs does 2k3 start a new process on the next free available cpu?

Got a server that runs quite a few scripts, mostly vbs etc, what it's calling is not multi threaded so it can't split the load between the processors but will 2k3 start each script process on the next available free cpu? or if it has 4 will it carry on just keep starting each script process on cpu 1 until it gets to a multi threaded script process and share it between all four.

Does 2k8 start it on each cpu in turn?

This allotment algorithm is semi-black magic, applied by Windows/MS, but usually, if it is a real process and not 1 cmd prompt running scripts/tools in sequence, starting a program should run it on 'the next available thread'.
Has been the same since Windows NT, though maybe somewhat fine-tuned.
