Question : SBSMONITORING CPU constant CPU usage

Hi Folks,

I am running a few SBS boxes at different clients.  And we recently setup a client with a new system with SBS 2008.  The issue currently is that the SBSMONITORING service and along with it SQLSERVR.exe is using up a bit of the CPU.  The server is a quad-core xeon with 4 gigs of ram.  I know 4 gigs is the minimum but the ram doesn't seem to be the issue.  the sql process was using up about 300 MB of ram and keeping the cpu at a constant 24-26% usage.  I lowered the maximum ram usage of the database to 100 MB, and that is working fine now.  The cpu usage lowered with that as well, but it is still using 5-10% CPU when running.  If I disable the service CPU goes to 0 until something is used, and things are nice and speedy.  Once enabled CPU goes back up and sluggish.

Other SBS 2008 servers we are running, including a test box with less than 4 gigs of RAM, do not show this symptom at all.  Just wondering if someone can point me in the right direction.  I also found a few things online about reinstalling the monitoring, but those articles were geared towards SBS 2003.  Just wondering if that is an option and how to do that in 08.

Thanks,

I still have not found a fix to this.  Currently SBS monitoring is disabled.  Is it possible that there is just to much the system is monitoring?  There are under 30 computers setup on the server.
