CPU usage increases to 100 percent on the site server after you add at least 1,000 IP address range boundaries on the central primary site for the child primary site in System Center Configuration Manager 2007

Consider the following scenario:

• You set up a central primary site and a child primary site in a Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 environment.
• On the central primary site, you add at least 1,000 IP address range boundaries for the child primary site.

In this scenario, the site boundaries that you added are not updated on the child primary site. Additionally, the CPU usage on the site server of the child primary site increases to 100 percent.

Hierarchy Manager uses the Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) interface to query IP address range boundaries from the Active Directory directory service. However, an incorrect parameter causes an endless loop in the query function call. This behavior causes high CPU usage. Hierarchy Manager cannot process the site control (.ct2) file that is sent from the primary site to update the site hierarchy.
