High CPU activity - Terminal services

Hi,
I have an HP DL360 G7 with 2 VMs on Hyper-v 2008R2. When users connect and open apps, the CPU runs at 100%. I've enabled the BIOS virtual settings and changed it to run just one VM with 32GB RAM but the same symptoms persist?
The VM is running with 4 Virtual processors, any ideas?
Thanks, Matt.

Hi Patrick,
Thanks for responding. Part of the problem was that the VM was sharing the VNIC with the host. After un-ticking this it seemed to improve things. I've also removed an iSCSI device, DVD and floppy device which were not wanted and re-installed
the integration services. I've also deleted some SAN snapshots which were long overdue. All of this has improved things.
Matt.

Photos and high CPU activity

Importing photos the CPU runs fast and my laptop runs hot. Checking Activity Monitor, Photos App pushes the CPU well beyond 100%. com.apple.photos.videoconversionservice does the same. Apparently the 'video conversion' is a default setting for importing videos to enable storing videos in iCloud. However, I don't use iCloud for storing any photos or videos and I don't want to...so this conversion is completely unecessary as well as annoying and a waste of time. It can't be doing my laptop much good either running it at a very hot temperature. I've read others having a similar problem but have yet to see any concrete solutions to the problem. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks for the advice- What do I look for in the console log?

Click on the all logs in the source pane on the left - most of the stuff is impossible to figure out but over temperature warnings are clear as is the sleep message that follows it
Also, I'm not sure if it is overheating- it shows high CPU activity even when I first start using my computer (after hours of non use), so it is not hot at all- can it still overheat?
It is possible - the way to find out is to read the log and see what it says
Have you inspected the air vents including the one on the back under the stand?

CF 10 sp 12 Enterprise high CPU usage hangs services, 2012 server on 2012 Hyper-V host

The last 2 days - my [removed link] CF site has suffered from high CPU usage (on and off) that stops functionality.
This will last several minutes then suddenly the high usage stops a few minute later the high cpu usage starts again.
I don't have any scheduled processes allowed to run.
Restarting the coldfusion service during a high CPS incident - the cpu usage just picks up where it left off when restarted.
I have assigned 4 CPUs (normal) or 8CPUs (as a test) to the VM and I get the same high CPU then low usage. This is a fresh install several months ago on a new VM.
I'd like some Adobe support on this issue but can't seem to find the contact phone number.
This series of high and low cpu usage first started Monday AM about midnight until 7:00 AM Tuesday was quiet and Wednesday this AM I'm having the same issues.
Ideas?
Update: While waiting for this to post - the high CPU usage started again and this time I stopped and restarted the Jetty service ... and the CPU usage went away...
Update: the high cpu started again and a restart of the jetty service didn't help --- neither did the .net service restart... the cf10 application service did stop the high usage...

Lync 2011 (Mac) + Outlook 2011 (Mac) = High CPU Activity

Let's set the groundwork:
Mac OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion)
 Lync 2011 14.0.4 (also seen with 14.0.2 and 14.0.3)
Outlook 2011 14.3.1
When Lync and Outlook are run concurrently Lync 2011 will, after a brief period of time, report extremely high CPU utilization (over 150% CPU on a Core i7 CPU). At the same time, Outlook 2011 will report high (40% and above) CPU usage. Threads used by Lync
2011 will go up to about 85 (from 24 when running by itself).
During this time Lync will remain responsive, but Outlook 2011 will be effectively unresponsive (command-Q will quit Outlook after a delay of 10-15 seconds). Inspecting the Lync or Outlook process via Activity Monitor will show abnormally large numbers of Mach
Messages, System Calls, and Context Switches.
Quitting either Lync or Outlook will return CPU utilization and other indicators to normal levels.
This behavior has been going on for several months. It's not a crashing issue, but it makes it impossible to run Lync and Outlook at the same time.
I've deleted and rebuilt ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/. I've done a clean re-install of Mac OS X on my Mac. I've confirmed that another user in my company is seeing the same behavior on their computer. I've also read the other threads here: this is not the
"I had 10K messages in my Deleted Items folder" error - I've long cleared that. My total Exchange Server storage is 610MB, with the largest single subfolder at 100MB (1,569 items). Inbox is typically between 75 and 300 items, with no subfolders.
No other processes report abnormal CPU usage during this time. This includes Microsoft Database Daemon and mdworker (Spotlight). I am using Activity Monitor to view All Processes, not simply My Processes.
This is not transitory. Once the high CPU utilization phase begins, it's been seen to go on for as long as 20 minutes (at which point I gave up and quit processes) - so it's not just a "spike" from an indexing process.
I had high hopes for the Lync 14.0.4 update, but the issue remains. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi,
Looks like it is known issue for the Lync and outlook 2011 for mac. Hope the next update can fix it.

High CPU usage by Service Host & Services and Controller app

Hi All,
My CPU is running at a consistent 98-99% within moments after booting my machine. I have uploaded a ~30s ETL capture here:
hxxps://www.dropbox.com/s/xznhkdyo5p2p7rn/highcpu.07-03-2014.10-46-16.zip
I've been digging around, but I can't seem to find what the cause of this high CPU usage is. It appears to be affecting the explorer service as well as Chrome. CPU usage does NOT go down if I kill all chrome processes however.
Any insight would be wonderful.

Hi,
According to your screenshot, it seems this is not related a particular service, it just like a memory leak issue.
Can you check the event viewer to see if there is some error record?
Or you can check if this issue happens in Clean Boot mode, this would eliminate software conflict:

SCCM 2012 Agent and high CPU utilization.

We have numerous Windows workstations and servers running with very high CPU utilization. Services are slow to start and login can take an hour. The service running with high CPU is svchost.exe, we determined that it is Windows Management Instrumentation
that is causing high CPU in svchost.exe.
If we stop or uninstall the SCCM 2012 Agent, everything calms down on the computer.
Any ideas as to way this would be?

Same issue seen on a clients and KB2617858 resolves it. I am deploying using the App model no problem with x86 and x64 hotfixes with requisite OS requirements. Is there a way to configure to only apply to those that it applies to...if that makes sense. I
ask because my B&C x64 W7Sp1 image does not require it (I have not included it) whereas other non-B&C do - what's the condition or applicability (or non-applicability) if not as listed on the KB..! If I run it one W7 machine it says it doesn't apply
and isn't already, whereas another it installs..!
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2705357:
To apply this hotfix, you must be running one of the following operating systems:
Windows 7
Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
Windows Server 2008 R2
Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
..obviously, if a client has the issue it applies :)

Security Token Service Application Pool high CPU

The SecurityTokenServiceApplicationPool seems to be using really high CPU at times and it seems to slow down the servercausing spike to almost 100% CPU, recycling takes care of it temporarily, it will also go down on its own but to a lesser extent.
I cant seem to see any cause of this in the logs.
The Security Token Service Application Pool isnt on a recycle schedule by default.
Does anyone recommend putting it on a recycle schedule?
What are some common causes of it
thanks
themush

Hi,
As I understand, the SecurityTokenServiceApplicationPool caused high CPU usage in your envrionment.
Would recycling the application pool be help?
To check if there is performance issue, please provide more information about your application server which host this service application.

TMG Microsoft Firewall Service Process (wspsrv.exe) high CPU. CPU Usage 100%

TMG Microsoft Firewall Service Process (wspsrv.exe) high CPU.
CPU Usage 100%
Please help me.
Thanks

Hi,
Since there can be multiple reasons for this issue, you can
capture a manual dump of the wspsrv.exe process on TMG server or find some related logs to better analyze this issue firstly.
In addition, what have you done before you encountered that issue?
If you have any third-party programs installed, you can temporary disable them and restart the firewall service to see if the issue persists.
For more detailed information, please refer to the links below:

to capture a manual dump of the wspsrv.exe process on TMG 2010?

Continual HD activity, high CPU usage when idle

I got my first notebook, a Compaq V2000, a few weeks ago and have Arch set up pretty well on it but I have a few issues. Even when the machine is sitting idle it sounds like the HD is doing a read (or whatever) about every 5 seconds. This only starts after I log into Gnome and stops if I log out.
I tried a couple of things with hdparm:
If I try 'hdparm -y /dev/hda' the drive goes to standby but immediately spins up again.
'hdparm -B 255 /dev/hda' disables APM and stops the cyclic behavior. This would seem to be good but during the 5 second cycle the drive alternates between quiet and noisy and this leaves it in the noisy state.
I tried to determine what might be causing all this disk activity so I edited lilo.conf to remove "acpi=on apm=off" from the "append=" line and in rc.conf I put a ! in front of all modules and daemons and rebooted. I removed the applets from task bar. No change.
I ran top to see if I could tell what was accessing the HD but I'm not knowledgable enough to make much sense of it. I did notice that on my notebook the top summary shows:
CPU: ~30% user, ~10% system, ~60% idle with 'wait' bouncing between 0 and 5%
On my main computer, also running Arch/Gnome, I get
CPU: ~2% user, ~1% system, ~97% idle with 'wait' solid at 0%
On the notebook, if I run hdparm -B 255 /dev/hda the CPU #'s for user and system remain high but the wait # drops to zero and stays there.
I don't think all this HD activity could be good for my machine, and I know I find it very annoying. If anyone could help me stop all the HD accesses and understand the high CPU usage I would appreciate it.

I loaded lsof and frankly it scared me. It listed what looked like a couple hundred files and I didn't know exactly how to use that information.
Then I tried laptop-mode-tools. The man pages didn't sound too promising since it uses, among other things, hdparm, which I already tried with mixed results. I gave it a try anyway and right out of the box, with no configuration, it worked. HD access when idle dropped to essentially none, the drive spins down and the cooling fan runs much less frequently.
So far all I have changed in the config file are the HD idle timeouts. The default of 5 seconds was starting and stopping the HD too often so I changed that to 20 seconds for now.
Whatever laptop-mode did to stop the 5-second HD accesses the effect persists even if I run 'laptop_mode stop' and '/etc/rc.d/laptop-mode stop'. When I get the time I should be able to use 'laptop_mode status' and laptop-mode.conf settings to determine exactly what the magic bullet was.
Thanks, lucke. I never would have tried laptop-mode on my own because I thought it only duplicated functionality that I already had with hdparm and powernowd.

Passport battery drain -- 'Input Services' running at high CPU %

This is the best phone I have ever owned -- size, physical keyboard, fantastic battery life (under normal circumstances) BUT every 2-3 weeks, it begins to misbehave.
I'm not sure what the trigger is but the following happens:
1. Top RHS of the phone gets very hot.
2. Upon unlocking, the location services icon is often 'on' (before disappearing a few seconds later).
3. Device monitor shows Input Services at high CPU percentage Eg: 25% or higher.
4. Battery drains from full charge to empty in about 3 hours, irrespective of use. Charging takes hours, particularly via USB or car kit due to the high-rate of drain.
I am not running any added apps and OS is updated to latest. The only fix is to backup the phone, restore factory settings and restore data. Then 2-3 weeks later, problem repeats.
I'm convinced 'Input Services' is the culprit -- but why??? Is this service related to the physical keyboard somehow?
Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

Hello @all,
Same problem here. Got my Passport 10 days ago.
Since the day before yesterday all was fine.

WMI High CPU Usage on Hyper-V VMs - Related to Data Exchange Integration Service

Title pretty much says it all. Some of my VMs have high CPU and moderate usage going to the WMI Integration Service. I have tracked it down to the Data Exchange Integration Service. If I de-select the service under the VM configuration,
everything works normally. Has anyone seen anything like this yet?
Thanks, TJ

Hi,
Could you provide more information about your environment. for example,What is the exact text of any error messages that you received associated with this problem? The server version of the problem on, when you experience this issue what are you trying
to do, when this problem occurs the system log record information, screenshots is the best information.

Accessing Terminal Services Attributes from Active Directory LDAP property userParameters

After many years of complaints, Microsoft has done little to address the overwhelming outcry for information on the accessing the Terminal Services properties through LDAP.
I found this document that fully describes the Encode/Decode mechanism for the userParameters attribute.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff635189.aspx
The property is used for more than terminal services, but even Microsoft is confused about it's use it would seem. I won't go into details, but for all those trying to access the terminal services attributes, this document should help.
I have not yet converted the mapping into a JAVA module, so please don't ask for help. I just need a more public place to put this, than the currently buried location at microsoft, to make for easier retrieval from the web community of java developers.

Hi,
What about other changed attributes? Are other attributes retrieved by DirSync control turn to be encrypted form?

I have high cpu usage due the opendirectoryd activity

Since I have installed Mavericks, my CPU usage is at a constant level of almost 100%,
therefore the fans are speeding up en my batteries runs down very fast.
Before this I had Lion, and everything was running smooth.
In acitivity moinitor I have seen the following activities: opendirectoryd consuming all of my cpu usage.
Also, I can't turn WiFi off, it will automatically turn on immediately.
But even though I closed all my other programs in acitity monitor, this one keeps running and if I force quit it, it opens up again in a second.
When I take a look at my logs there seems to be a major problem:

I have a MacBook Pro form late 2011,
2.4GHz Intel i5 with 4GB RAM and 10.9.1

I just read briefly about this and correct me if I am wrong. If you are using unix, solaris use the top (% top) command by itself at the command prompt. The output will expose the top users on the system. From there you can drill down to work on the bottleneck causing the high cpu useage. It could be that it is just being very over worked and an upgrade is necessary. Or by using (% netstat -i ) the packets may be too small thereby creating alot of traffic on the system. Reducing the amount of packets by increasing their size without splitting them in the system may reduce the cpu useage.
Hope this helps.
