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 :)
Donald Rumsfeld's 'known unknowns' comes to mind here. Sorry.

Macbook 2, 1 battery issues and high CPU utilization

I haven't used my macbook 2 1 (intel core duo, 2.16GHZ) for 3 or 4 months. Before it was working fine but now it says that the battery is not charging, although the laptop still works when plugged in. The power report from the system profiler is at the bottom of the thread.
I use this computer primarily for music making using native instruments reaktor, but have found that the CPU utilisation of my patches has doubled compared to when I was using them 4 months ago. 5've not got any other programs open while doing this and all the audio set up is exactly the same as before.
Will buying a new battery sort this out? Any ideas for how to bring the CPU utilisation back to how it was before?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

You can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay. Every MacBook from 2006 through Mid 2009 except the Late 2008 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 and 2010 White Unibodies use the same A1185 battery.

Desktop Window Manager high CPU utilization

I have several Windows 2012 servers that are showing high CPU utilization (70% or higher) coming from the Desktop Window Manager. I do not have the Desktop Experience feature installed on these machines. The interesting thing is that the process
for dwm.exe does not show up as a service that I can stop or restart. I've read through the various posts about re-registering dmw.exe so that the service shows up again, but nothing has worked. Since these are application and file servers with
no need for regular desktop use, I don't really need any fancy desktop graphics or performance. I have the Advanced Performance Options set to 'Background services'. Can anyone tell me how to stop dwm.exe or at least reduce it's CPU footprint?
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,
Based on my research, On Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, DWM is used at all times and cannot be disabled.
For more detailed information, please refer to this article:
Desktop Window Manager is always on:
To troubleshoot the high usage of CPU, I would like to recommend to follow this article to collect and analyse the relevant log files and dump files:
Troubleshooting High CPU performance issues - Part 1
If you want to analyse the dump file, I also recommend you can open case and contact Microsoft support.
I hope this helps.

Very high cpu utilization with mq broker

Hi all,
I see a very high cpu utilization (400% on 8 cpu server) when I connect consumers to OpenQ. It increase close to 100% for every consumer I add. Slowly, the consumer comes to a halt, as the producers are sending messages at a good rate too.

Thanks ak, for the response.
Yes, the messages are consumed in transactions. I set imq.txn.reapLimit=200 in Start Arguments in jvm configuration.
I verified that it is being set in the log.txt file for the broker:
-Dimq.autocreate.queue=false -Dimq.autocreate.topic=false -Dimq.txn.reapLimit=250
It did not make any difference. Do I need to set this property somewhere else ?
As far as upgrading MQ is concerned, I am using glassfish 2.1. And I think MQ 4.3 is packaged with it. Can you suggest a safe way to upgrade to OpenMQ 4.5 in a running environment. I can bring down the cluster temporarily. Can I just change the jar file somwhere to use MQ4.5 ?
Here is the snippet of the consumer code :
I create Connection in @postConstruct and close it in @preDestroy, so that I don't have to do it everytime.

Airport Process utilizing high CPU utilization

I currently have a 13 inch MacBook Pro i7 (2012 version). Recently I upgraded to Mavericks. After using the computer for a day after the upgrade, I began to notice it becoming very hot and the fans running very high. Looking at the running processes i noticed that a process called "airport" was running and utilizing high CPU times causing the heating up and fans running. Once I stopped this process, the laptop went back to operating at normal levels.
Unfortunately this issue began to come back several times....the "airport" process starting at any time and utilizing high CPU utilization....again only by killing this process fixed this issue.
After seeing this behavior over several days, I decised to wipe the drive and install a clean copy of Mavericks in the computer. Thought here was that possibly something did not carry over correctly from the upgrade from Mountain Lion to Mavericks. Unfortunely this did not correct the issue with the "airport" process as it still is continiung to launch at any time and spike the processor until I manually kill the process.
I do not recall this issue occuring while running Mountain Lion so it seems to be specific to Mavericks at this point.
I was hoping to hear if any other have experienced this type of issues while running Mavericks.

You should be able to find the information you are looking for from the default Total CPU Utilization Percentage monitor. This monitor has a built in diagnostic task that will kick off when an alert is triggered to list the top cpu consuming processes.
To find which processes were causing CPU to spike, simply review the State Change Events history in health explorer for the machine that was affected, for the Total CPU Utilization Percentage monitor. I have modified my second screen shot
to remove machine names, but you should get the idea. If a cpu monitor went from green to red, it will run the diagnostic task and list the process information and cpu usage at the time of the alert under state change events.

Can I use SCCM 2007 to deploy SCCM 2012 Agent

I was reading the scenarios for deploying the SCCM 2012 agent here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682132.aspx
I have been planning to deploy the 2012 agent using an SCCM 2007 deployment package. I am not migrating any data/packages/collections/anything from SCCM 2007.
I am looking for a sane way to deploy 2000ish clients a day for 2 weeks and be done.
I figure they are all SCCM 2007 clients so lets deploy 2012 agent using SCCM 2007.
I read the following in the link above and it sounds like the way I want to go – use SCCM 2007 software distribution…
Upgrade installation by using application management
Upgrades clients to a newer version by using Configuration Manager application management. You can also use Configuration Manager 2007 software
distribution to upgrade clients to System Center 2012 Configuration Manager.
Then later in the same document there is this…
How to Upgrade Configuration Manager Clients by Using a Package and Program
You can use Configuration Manager to create and deploy a package and program that upgrades the client software for selected computers in your hierarchy. A package definition file
is supplied with Configuration Manager that populates the package properties with typically used values. You can customize the behavior of the client installation by specifying additional command line properties.
You cannot upgrade Configuration Manager 2007 clients to System Center 2012 Configuration Manager by using this method.
In this scenario, use automatic client upgrade, which automatically creates and deploys a package that contains the latest version of the client.
What???!?? There is no Automatic client upgrade feature in 2007 – so how does that even make sense? In one section, it says I can deploy the 2012 Agent using SCCM 2007 software distribution, and then later in the same document, it
says I can't. I am probably misunderstanding somthing.
Is it possible to make a package/program in SCCM 2007 that will make targeted clients upgrade to Agent 2012 and join the new SCCM 2012 Site?

I tested this (deploying 2012 agent using existing 2007 SCCM infrastructure) with a few test systems at my desk and it seems to work pretty smoothly. I made a package to deploy SCCM 2012 SP1 and added it to my SCCM 2007 Site. Then I deployed
the 2012 agent from 2007 and it worked great. If it works this well in production, I will be able to migrate all of my clients in less than a weeks time.
I have not published the 2012 site information in AD - and I don't plan to. We would have some overlapping site boundaries - and in 2012 it seems its unnecessary in a single site hierarchy. I AM planning to use boundaries to assign
DPs, but thankfully site and DP boundaries have been separated. It works great to just specify the site in everything and not worry about auto discovery. My clients don't move among sites since I only have one large site.
Sorry that I somehow posted this same question twice, and thanks for cleaning that up.
In my installation, I just called ccmsetup.exe with the following command line...
/mp:myMP.mydomain.com CCMLOGMAXHISTORY=5 CCMLOGMAXSIZE=1000000 SMSCACHEFLAGS=PERCENTDISKSPACE;NTFSONLY SMSCACHESIZE=10 SMSMP=myMP.mydomain.com SMSSITECODE=CCM
I am not sure that I need to specify the MP twice, but it is working to do so. I'm also not sure whether the log and cache flags will be honored since there are existing settings from SCCM2007 agent. I think that the 2012 install will not change
these settings upon installation, but it does not appear to hurt the process to include them just in case it does work.

NSAPI plugin has high CPU utilization on Sunone web server 6.0 SP5

Hi,
I am running WL 6.1 SP3 with pluginProxy SP03 on Sunone web server 6.0SP5 on Solaris.
Seeing very high CPU utilization with 3 threads running wl_proxy (about 33% each).
Any latest NSAPI pluginproxy patch I can use to fix this?
Walter

I'm having the same problems as all the above posts. I run a colloborative tool which uses IPlanet as a directory server and I receive the Event ID:25 Source: WebServer 6.0 error as well as Event ID:0 Source:https-admnserv6.0 which gives "the local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer". I have 3 servers built and all exhibit the same errors.

EEM applet that triggers on high CPU utilization

Hi Folks,
I am trying to create an eem applet which triggers on high cpu utilization (detected by erm).   The applet should then tftp the output from "show proc cpu sorted" to a tftp server.
I am trying to configure this on a 1841 running 124-24.T3 code
This is my config:
resource policy
policy HighGlobalCPU global
   system
    cpu total
     critical rising 5 falling 2 interval 10
    cpu process
     critical rising 5 falling 2 interval 10
! I'm not sure whether it is correct to monitor 'cpu total' or 'cpu process'.   The rising thresholds are deliberately low to maker testing easier
event manager applet ReportHighCPU
event resource policy "HighGlobalCPU"
action 1.0 cli command "show process cpu sorted 5sec | redirect tftp://192.168.1.1/highCPU$_resource_time_sent.txt"
action 2.0 syslog priority debugging msg "high cpu event detected, output tftp sent"
The problem is that I can't seem to trigger the applet.    I have generated enough traffic to push the cpu utilization to over 30% (according to 'show proc cpu'), but the applet does not appear to trigger (no syslog messages appear, and my syslog server does not receive anything).
If anyone can tell me what I've done wrong here I would be very grateful!
Thanks,
Darragh

I am just replying off the top of my head but I believe you
need to also add to your conf the line
user global HighGlobalCPU

CB21AG High CPU Utilization

We have a problem with CB21AG cards causing high CPU utilization on WinXP. Task manager shows the CPU pegged at 100%, but the individual processes don't add up to 100%. IE, there are "missing" CPU cycles. Using Process Monitor from SysInternals, we see that NDIS (Windows network wrapper) is creating numerous DPCs and causing the CPU usage. Shutting down the wireless card fixes the problem. It's an LWAPP environment (WiSM 4.0.217), with various versions of the client drivers up to ADU 3.6.
Does anyone know anything about this?

It'd be hard to say anything for certain without seeing all the test stuff ... but it sounds like old or corrupt drivers / utilities.
There are some Microsoft-side patches / updates that may be useful as well.
Try reloading the (and / or updating) the drivers & utilities. If you're using Zero Wireless Config, try (at least for experimentation) the Cisco utilities (ADU) or vice-versa. It might narrow down which specific software modules are involved.
IF you have a spare card, it might also be worth a shot ... there could be a bad software component in EPROM that's causing the problem.
I believe some of the driver/utility updates include updated firmware loads for the NIC too.
Good Luck

WAAS experiencing high CPU utilization

We are monitoring WAAS devices for CPU utilization in our Network.Currently we have set the threshold for 70%. At this threshold we see a large number of alerts from WAAS crossing 70% CPU utilization. I guess 70% CPU utilization is normal for WAAS. Am I right???

Hi Daniel,
Yes, during the peak hours sometimes the CPU shoots even upto 95% and then in next 5 min comes down to normal below 70%.
Since our threshold is 70%, we get a lot of inactionable(because it becomes normal in 5-10 miinutes only) alert.I was wondering if we could change the threshold.
One of the Cisco Tac Engineer replied to the above question :
That is true. It is normal to have a high CPU utilization in normal Operation as we mentioned earlier it runs on underlying Linux kernel and linux does not use Page file rather it uses Maximum RAM that it could .

Packet drops and High CPU on Cisco 3845 Switch

Hello Experts,
We are facing a lot of packet drops in our LAN.
When we try to ping one of the access switches from the CE router, we get the follwoing output:
pdel1799#ping 10.132.136.17 so 10.132.164.1 si 100 re 500
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 500, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.132.136.17, timeout is 2 seconds:
Packet sent with a source address of 10.132.164.1
Success rate is 98 percent (491/500), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/9/44 ms
pdel1799#
Success rate is 98 percent (491/500), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/9/44 ms
pdel1799#
Some command outputs and show tech of all switches attached from the customer which I have attached.
I have also attached a diagram but the only router''s IP address is correct in the diagram while IP address of switches in the diagram are incorrect. Here are the correct IPs of the switches:
Core Switch : 10.132.139.2
Access Switches:
10.132.136.17
10.132.136.18
10.132.136.29
Apart from packet drops on VLAN 1 we are seeing high CPU utilization on core switch

Hi,
I can see several Mac Flaps in the logs provided.... i.e. on int gi 1/1/3. have you verified you don't have any bridging loop occurring on the network?

High CPU utilization on 2960 switch

Hi
I have a 2960 switch connected in my network. It is showing high CPU utilization upto 80-90%. When I checked I found that the below processes are taking the highest utilization. The image in the switch is LAN base. Can someone please advice on why I am having high utilization on the switch for the below processes and how can I reduce it.
14.69% 14.98% 15.00%   0 Hulc LED Process
14.69% 11.49% 13.97%   0 IP Input

High CPU utilization with javascript

Has anyone noticed how Safari 10.4.4 has high CPU utilization (e.g. >60%) when javascript is enabled, particularly for certain websites? Opening FoxNews.com and a few Wired.com pages in separate tabs sends my Powerbook fans screaming. Disabling javascript brings utilization down to under 2%.
Any suggestions on how to fix this, or do I have to live with it? I prefer not to permanently disable javascript as a number of websites I frequent depend upon it, without consuming CPU.
Thanks,
Ira

Hi,
I agree that it's a function of the javascript code itself on the webpage, and not with the browser. It's possible to even write infinite loops in Javascript which can practically hang a web browser due to the high percentage of CPU cycles being consumed. I only knowingly encountered such a site once, when I was at a customer site with my PowerBook running on battery power. I unknowingly navigated to a site which apparently had some Javascript of some other executable code, which had the result of running my battery from about 95% charge to about 60% in about 10 minutes!
The only way to avoid this is to avoid the sites that cause this kind of problem, or to disable Javascript when visiting these sites. And if possible, send a complaint to the webmaster of the site. He/she might not be aware of this problem.

High CPU Utilization by J2EE engine

Dear team,
I want to find the tread causing high CPU utilization within the "jlaunch" process. As stated in SAP note: 743204. I ran the command "tps -a <pid> -a" in the development box and it it running fine. But the same command in the production portal is giving us the following error:
jueppci:/#/usr/sap/tps -a
Initialize measurement (10 sec) ...Memory fault(coredump)
I did a strings command om the core and I got
jueppci:/#strings core
libdl.so
Why is tps not running properly ?

Hello,
Thanks Russell. It is HP-UX 11.31 (11i v3). We have opened a Very High Message with SAP. SAP AG and HP are working with us to solve this issue. We will be applying some patches and doing a lot of Java parameter changes !
I'll update the solution once the system is stable and the case with SAP is closed.
