Tell and more importantly show them what you mean. Tell them how long it is un-usable for and tell them how much it is costing them to have you unproductive. Then suggest that in order to be productive, you need to get a new faster computer or have them talk to the IT department to see what is going on with your PC.
Ask you boss to have IT report back to them as to what the issue is with the PC and how they plan to fix it. Then sit and wait to see what happens. Your only real option is to talk to you IT department. That absolutely is NOT the thing to do. You kill all of SMS when you do that.
If software inventory is enabled in your site, then that very likely is the cause. Software inventory, depending on its configured file types and paths, may check every single file on the hard drive to enumerate what the file is. Maybe you want to cut down on the paths scanned. Or even disable it. I am not sure if the software inventory is enabled.
I looked for anything with "inventory" in the name and did not find anything. The Software Inventory Client led me to Configuration Manager, which also does not seem to be installed on my machine. I can understand about software inventory, but this goes on every day, every time I start the computer. Typically I let the computer start up and run, then when it has become stable, i use a batch file to turn off the SMS service, and kill ccmexec. This stops the disk activity. If it is the software inventory causing this disk activity, it probably does not need to run every day, and could be set to run evry couple of weeks instead.
Open the SMS console, browse to the Client agent setting. I assume that you are SMS admin for your site, if you are not then talk to them and get them to fix it. Sorry, I am just a computer user in a corporate environment, trying to be a good corporate citizen and still be able to use the computer to do my work.
The excessive disk activity is annoying since the computer is busy with the inventory, instead of the things I need it to do. I would probably not have much luck convincing our IT group to change their policies. I just want to be able to control my end of the situation.
On the extreeme side, I can simply, permanently disable the SMS and then have no further issues with disk activity. However, I would like to be able to keep the SMS active for corporate reasons, but just limit the excessive disk activity to a relatively reasonable level. I would like to understand what this SMS inventory system does, what files are output, and how ofetn it needs to update these files.
I am assuming there is some kind of local configuration or policy file that provides these settings on my computer, since the activity happens whether I am on the corportae network or travelling.
OK, thank you for the advice. It is interesting about the ccmexec service running until completion. I understand that your an MVP and all. But throwing hardware at a problem is a terrible answer. I find the problem to be with MS rather than hardware. Please never give anyone the advice in a forum to upgrade their hardware. Especially when you don't know what their hardware specs are.
Not meaning to flame anyone. If you have Avast and McAfee running, that will do it too.. Uninstall one of them.. In reply to A. User's post on July 11, Under Processes with Disk Activity there are 2 entries:. System 4 0 4, 4, Under Disk Activity the number of entries constantly fluctuates.
The filenames included:. In reply to Mike Hall I don't run Avast and McAfee at the same time honest, I know better. I use Avast free version most of the time. System Idle Process switches back and forth between 98 and Just underneath it is usually taskmgr. It's usually followed by PresentationFontCache. When I try to kill the SmartWare processes using the Task Manager I have to do it several times because they keep reappearing, so I'm not sure whether I succeed in killing them or not, but if I did succeed it had no effect on the disk light.
It just keeps flashing. I should go into msconfig and stop SmartWare from starting and see if that solves the problem. I'll do that, but not until after I send this. I'll post here what the result was. This whole thing is making me a lot tired and a bit crazy. Update: I used msconfig to start in diagnostic mode, which starts the bare minimum of services. The Western Digital SmartWare services were loaded but not started; the Avast services were running but I stopped them also.
Remove Avira. I took my machine off the network and the write activity stopped. I thought it was odd my performance should drop so drastically after having watched it perform fairly well, so after exhausting the possibility of it being my virus software - or a virus itself, I looked around on google for some answers.
Gleaning what I could, I understand it this way:. Virtual file systems require constant monitoring, and can often lead to calculations growing in size. Essentially reading Empty file space to determine where the next Input should be written, it has been shown that many programs, using VM's would create extensively large but incredibly fragmented files, causing the problem to get perpetually worse every time a file segment is written.
So the first thing to do is. And my apologies to our good host, but I think it's important to note that the Defragger on Windows leaves much to be desired Office Office Exchange Server.
