Symptoms

Assume that you configure a Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) server to monitor Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Client Access servers in an Exchange 2010 organization. Additionally, assume that the SCOM server executes multiple Test-*Connectivity cmdlets. In this situation, the Microsoft.Exchange.Monitoring.exe process consumes excessive CPU resources on the Client Access servers. When this issue occurs, all requests that are sent to the Client Access servers receive slow responses.
