TimeServ Uses 100% of System ResourcesArticle ID: 172831 - View products that this article applies to. This article was previously published under Q172831 SYMPTOMS
Between 5 and 6 P.M. eastern time on August 13, 1997, the TimeServ
service may have begun consuming 100 percent of your system's
resources.
CAUSE
This problem appears to be caused by a change in the United States
Naval Observatory's time server. At this time, the problem does not
appear to be caused by an error in the TimeServ utility, or by a
malicious attack.
WORKAROUND
Change the TimeServ.ini file to use a Simple Network Time Protocol
Server instead of a TCP/IP Server by using the following steps.
NOTE: These steps will not work correctly if you are behind a firewall that passes TCP but not UDP (datagrams).
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this
problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base as it becomes available.
