Hi Velu, What is the version of Exchange? How frequent the issue happens? and if you see the W3wp.exe is consuming the High CPU, let me know what is the IIS Worker process. How to find the IIS Worker process http://abhijitjana.net/2010/07/15/identifying-worker-process-w3wp-exe-iis-6-0-and-iis-7-0-for-debugging-asp-net-application/ It will show, the PID of the process and to which IIS Application pool it is associated to. Then you can concentrate on that particular component. Let me know if this helps. S.A. Jones | Exchange 2003/2007/2010 | Remember to Mark as Answer if this Helps
