So, we dealt with it all weekend.. Just had the weekend crew babysit.. It's still happening.. Called IPSwitch this morning.. They used the typical 'it's your NIC' excuse.. Never mind these servers have been running fine for 2 years.. They suggested an upgrade to 8.. Took the chance and still no dice.. After an hour or so, IWEBMSG is still jumping up to 99% CPU usage and bringing the boxes to their collective knees.
damn
So say that it is some message in a mailbox that is making the service spike like that.. How do I go about tracking down that message?
you run the "tree-walking, mail box nit picking" tool. This will scan every mailbox with very strict rules and report on what it finds. What? there isn't such a tool? Sounds like a business opportunity.
how about an fstat (freebsd "file stat") or lsof (list of open files) for Windows and then
lsof | egrep -i "\.mbx" | less
certainly Windows knows how to do the equivalent.
.... assuming the troublesome mailbox(es) is open and seeable that way.
