Microsoft Exchange Analyzer Tool uses the Exchange Server User Monitor (ExMon) tool to determine whether user MAPI operations are taking longer than should reasonably be expected on a healthy Exchange server.
As part of its analysis, the Exchange Analyzer reviews the ExMon data for user-issued MAPI TaskQ operations that have taken longer than 30 seconds to complete.
TaskQ operations are asynchronous tasks run outside the context of an RPC call. TaskQ and TaskQ User Unknown operations are tasks run at the request of Exchange and include store maintenance. TaskQ User Known operations are asynchronous tasks initiated by a direct user request and include search folder population, sorting, and bulk operations such as move, copy, delete, and marking messages as read on multiple messages.
If the Exchange Analyzer determines that user-issued MAPI TaskQ operations have taken longer than 30 seconds to complete, the Exchange Analyzer displays a warning.
This may not always indicate a performance problem as TaskQ operations are typically operations that can take a long time to finish.
To address this issue, do the following:
- Consider using the ExMon tool to capture a larger data sample
for the Exchange Server Analyzer to review. Because of the large
volume of data generated by Exchange, we recommended that the data
collection sample be kept to 30 minutes or less.
