I am trying to diagnose a problem with a DPM server that is consistently running wmiprvse process at between 78% and 93%. It is very difficult to troubleshoot since the performance of the server is now so poor that it is hard to do the diags, hence the query whilst I wait! Does DPM use the wmiprvse.exe process extensively?

Thanks

Mark

Problem resolved by Microsoft (thanks team). We think it was caused by orphaned snapshot volumes from DPM being left in the registry and cleaning these up with a utility they provided "devnodecleanup.x64.exe" seems to have resolved matters, though it could also have been helped by removing and then reinstalling the SCOM agent in part.
