do you have the etrust av folder exclusions set so that your not virus scanning the m: drive or the edb files? also make sure you do not have background scanning enabled. that will toast it for sure. both these settings are in the av client for nt, not the av mail client. -----Original Message----- From: Roberto Hernandez [mailto:rhernandez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2002 11:04 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: High CPU usage http://www.MSExchange.org/ re-booted and after an hour cpu back to 100% with 99% on store.exe. Lee we have the same exact setup with exchange and CA, I have ex2k and win2k on SP3. I also installed a fix to the exchange option which is what has made the CPU go to 100%. -----Original Message----- From: Lee Swanson [mailto:swanson@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2002 9:03 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: High CPU usage http://www.MSExchange.org/ I had this happen on a machine and it should not take up all the available memory. We had less than 50 mailboxes w/ 640 MB RAM that had been running just fine for almost a year until one day it was taking 99% of cpu noted on task manager -- Users could not use oultlook client. We were using Exchange SP1 and CA InoculateIT 6 w/ Exchange Option. Had just rec'd a new virus def at the time. What we did was killed the Store.exe w/ a kill utility (Since it wouldn't stop & rebooting machine even w/ cold shutdown did not work). Ran a eseutil w/ recovery and defrag options along w/ g swtich (3 different runs). None showed any errors. But after starting the store again, things seemed to work w/ resources back where they were. We then updated to SP2 and the next day new virus defs were out. Everythings' been work fine since last week. Not sure if virus defs caused problems in someway or actually manually killing the store took care of it. Any insight or explanation from anyone is appreciated. Thanks!

I had the same problem. After stopping RAS ,CPU utilization came down 2-10% most of the time. You might need to reboot the server. can you update me whetehr it worked or not.
