MS Exchange and WMI
Ever had an issue with the Windows Management Instrumentation service and Microsoft Exchange Management service? They seem to suck up all resources on the box. If we have Exchange slowness (getting email, slow calendaring) I restart WMI which also restarts it’s dependant services, MS Exchange Management. All is good then for a day or so.
Is the MS Exchange Management service needed? Hope not. I disabled it today. As far as I can tell it is for advanced exchange management tasks such as message tracking. Never do it, never had a request. So far so good with the service turned down!
I’ll keep this updated.
