NPM Core Server Polling timeouts & Microsoft Queuing Service

Hi all,

Has anyone suddenly had a problem where their main Orion server has started having a big increase in disk activity and therefore causing some polling failures. Turns out that the biggest user of the disk is Microsoft Queuing Service.

I have suspended it for now and the disk activity is back to normal; basically do we need this service running? if so anyone had this and managed to find out why its suddenly started happening?

Maybe its a Windows issue in itself.

Running:

Windows Server 2012 R2

NPM 11.0.1

Polling load in the green.

Thanks.
