Guest AzSav Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Hi, Our main DC (dns, wins) has a constant high cpu (60-99%). It is a 2003 server with SP2. Via Process explorer, i found in the threads tab that srv.sys has contant a minimum of 45% cpu time. It mentions 0x16602. Searching on the net does not give me anything usefull. Rebooting the server does not help. Mcafee 8.5 is installed, but i stopped all services. Does not help. What can i do ?
Guest - Michel Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 RE: constant high cpu ; srv.sys 0x16602 Hi, In most cases, this issue has to do with AntiVirus software. Also see this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941756 Perhaps a temporary uninstall of McAfee is better that stopping just the services: my experience is that just stopping it isn't enough: uninstall and reboot should give you a better image. Any other foreign software present on your machine?

Guest AzSav Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 RE: constant high cpu ; srv.sys 0x16602 I uninstalled & rebooted the server, no difference... And no, no strange software.

You may want to see if you can get ahold of the patch from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927435/ and see if this utilization bug has been fixed. Since you don't seem to have Trend Micro installed, the info from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941756/ is of no use. - Thee Chicago Wolf
Guest AzSav Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Re: constant high cpu ; srv.sys 0x16602 Thanks. It is srv.sys who uses all the resources, i don't think there is a memory leak. However, i can ask MS to send me the patch, worth to try.

No problem. Do let the group know if it get it, try it, and it solves the issue. It would be good knowledge to share. - Thee Chicago Wolf
Guest Arwed Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Re: constant high cpu ; srv.sys 0x16602 Hi, I have the same problem (w2k3 server sp2 + mcafee 8.5i deactivated...) with srv.sys (25% - 50 % cpu in processexplorer) !!! I'm very interested to solve this . Please let me know !

Guest Arwed Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Re: constant high cpu ; srv.sys 0x16602 OK.. have installed the hotfix kb927435 with the following result: The srv.sys (version 5.2.3790.4161 / mention 0x17602) cpu time now toggles between 2% and 40%. it is not longer fixed at approx. 25%. I think in my case this behavior is justified because the server is a fileserver in a w2k3 cluster.

Well, it sounds like it at least improved slightly as opposed to being solid at 25% as you mention. This is a good sign I think that the patch has some benefit after being applied. Thanks for the follow up. - Thee Chicago Wolf
