Posted September 5, 200816 yr Hi Our Terminal Server (Win2003 Std SP2) is having some problem with msiexec.exe 1, 2 and sometime 3 instances of msiexec.exe is showing up for no rason at all. they're consuming all resources making the whole server slow Even immediately after a restart they can show up. "automatic updates" are disabled They are all running under "system" account. when I'm running Windows update an instance of msiexec.exe under the Administrator account is showing up at the moment of installation, I'm finding this to be the correct behaivour. I can manually end these extra processes of msiexec.exe and that is makes the server speed up, but the strange msiexec.exe can then be back after minutes or hours or even days. They can also self -terminate or just lower the cpu usage to 00 and remain in the list for long periods. Anyone knowing what can cause this and what to do to solve it. Kjell
