INTRODUCTION

Currently, the DSM task may result in all systems trying to ping Windows Metadata and Internet Services (WMIS) servers at the same time locally. This issue can result in large WMIS request spikes that reduce the availability and cause requests to fail. This article describes an update that randomizes the Device Setup Manager (DSM) task creation time in Windows RT, Windows 8, and Windows Server 2012.
