Hi

I am running an Edge Transport Server on a high spec 64 bit server (2GB RAM,
2Ghz Quadcore, RAID) and Exchange 2007 Hub, Mailbox, Client Access etc. on
another even higher spec server (4GB RAM etc.).

Whilst the Exchange 2007 server runs perfectly (low CPU utilisation), I am
noticing that on the Edge Transport Server the CPU sits at 25% consistently
(I suspect as a result of using 100% of one core). I am confused what may be
causing this. I am also running Forefront security on that server, and have
applied SP1 to this server & the exchange server.

You can see a screen shot at the link below of the 25% cpu utilisation
consistenly, wtih everything else looking OK.

Our server crashed completely this morning (after spending 10 minutes
logging in, I saw that CPU was at 100% yet the task manager was reporting
that all processes were at 0!), so had to restart it. I am now concerned
that something may very well be wrong if it sits at 25% constantly.

I have also checked the mail queues, event logs etc. and there does not
appear to be that much activity (i.e. we have only set up a few test but
active mail boxes).

Your help & advice is appreciated.

Since you have applied SP1 to the Exchange server this is obviously
the lab. Flatten the box and put it back to pre SP1 state. Leave
ForeFront off it for the time being and take it one step at a time. My
Edge does show a constant load on the box higher than I'd like to see
but it's not that high.
