Microsoft.Exchange.RpcClientAccess.Service.exe process consumes excessive CPU on Client Access servers in an Exchange Server 2010 environment

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You deploy some public folder databases in a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 environment that has Update Rollup 5 version 2 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 2 (SP2) or a later-version update rollup installed.
  • The environment contains multiple Active Directory sites.
  • The default public folder server is unavailable. So, the Microsoft Exchange RPC Client Access service tries to connect to other public folder servers.
In this scenario, the Microsoft.Exchange.RpcClientAccess.Service.exe process consumes excessive CPU resources on one or more Client Access servers in the site. Additionally, Microsoft Outlook clients cannot connect to Exchange servers, or they encounter slow performance when they connect to Exchange servers.
