Re: Collect Server Performance Data

What are the specs on these machines as I don't see this?

And you lose a lot of monitoring info when you do that...

I have multiple SBS's running at different client sites. We began to have complaints about periodic e-mail slowness. After quite a bit of investigation we found it was related to the "Collect server performace data" scheduled task. When you install monitoring and select the performance reports options this task is added. I assume it gathres the performance data and puts it in the SQL database used to generate the reports. By defualt it is scheduled to run at 45 minutes past the hour every hour. What I have seen is that it runs for at least 5 minutes and uses 100% CPU during that 5 minutes. The time period it runs appears to grow over time. During the 5 minutes it runs server performance (exchange, iis, file retrieval) is sluggish.

Has anybody else seen this. Does anybody have a solution. For now I unistalled monitoring which removes the scheduled task

All servers are running SBS 2003 sp1
