SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0. You import an organization from another Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 deployment in Deployment Manager. Then, you start the Async service. In this scenario, you experience one of the following symptoms:
  • The Async service stops after a period of time. Additionally, the following error message is logged in the event viewer:
    Host ComputerName: failed while monitoring asynchronous operations queue. Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached.

    at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart(Object obj)"
  • The Async service cannot be started when you try to start the service in the Service Management Console. Additionally, you receive the following error message:
    Could not start the Microsoft Asynchronous Processing Service service on Local Computer.
    Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
If you check the CrmAsyncService.exe process in Windows Task Manager, the memory and the CPU time of the CrmAsyncService.exe process is highly consumed.

In the Microsoft SQL server in which you have installed the Microsoft Dynamics CRM databases, the memory and the CPU time of the SQL process is also highly consumed.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 uses the name of the SQL server that is in the organization table of the mscrm_config database when Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 tries to connect to the SQL server. If the name is lowercase, the Async service cannot correctly process the jobs in the ScaleGroupOrganizationMaintenanceJobs table. The SqlServerName name must be the same as the value that is returned by the @@servername global variable.
