SYMPTOMS
When you install a Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) agent on a computer that currently has the Operations Manager 3.3 agent installed on it, CPU utilization may reach 100 percent.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the default logging level on the agent has been modified.



RESOLUTION
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To resolve this behavior, set the logging level to the default value of zero (0):  Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe). Locate the TraceLevel value under the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mission Critical Software

 On the Edit menu, click DWORD, type 0, and then click OK. Quit Registry Editor.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
