Chance are good that either

a. ExPTA.MSI from v1.0 is stuck in your browser temporary cache. In this case, if you are using IE, the workaround is to clear the IE cache. From IE, go to Tools -> Internet Options -> General -> Delete Files.

b. You are going through a caching proxy server and it hasn't picked up the file change from microsoft.com. If this is the problem, you can either wait and try again, or manually change or bypass your proxy server.

There are many things that mad.exe does, such as maintanance on the databases, generating the OAB, and tasks for DSProxy, RUS, free busy generation for CDO etc. Many of the actions done by MAD can also drive up the store.exe CPU.

Hi,

We've been successfully running ExPTA 1.0 and have downloaded ExPTA 1.1. However, we can't analyse any of the results that are generated. We see the following 2 errors:

"Failed to retrieve RPC performance counter data from the file <filename>.blg. An unspecified error occurred while reading the file."
"Error accessing RPC performance counters. String was not recognised as a valid DateTime.."

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ed.

I want to use ExPTA to analyse customer log files off site. The customer has used ExPTA to run an analysis and has sent me the perfmon log files. I'd like to be able to run up ExPTA and select the option to analyse a previous log file. BUT - to get there I have to go through the connectivity test, which fails, 'cos I can't see their server! If I enter one of my servers which I can see, it lets me through but then when I tell it to analyse the log file it says the server names don't match. Is there anyway I can get round this?

Responding to DaveB's question above: ExPTA must have network connectivity to the Exchange server and a domain server in order to process the data, as ExPTA gathers other information from the system (such as the location of data files, and the number of processors) to measure the server health.
