CRMAsyncService using 100% CPU

With one of my projects I've experienced a situation in which the CRMAsyncService is requiring 99% CPU power. Since this doesn't leave much left for CRM, we needed to get this fixed. One of my colleagues, Maarten Smid, came up with the solution of installing the Service Pack 1 for .NET 3.0. But before this can be installed, some prerequisites needed to be installed.

The first step is to install Service Pack 1 for .NET 2.0:
NetFx20SP1_x86.exe: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=98103
NetFx20SP1_x64.exe: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=98104

The second step is to install Microsoft XML Paper Specification Essentials Pack (XPSEP): http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=B8DCFFDD-E3A5-44CC-8021-7649FD37FFEE&displaylang=en

And finally SP1 for .NET 3.0:
NetFx20SP1_x86.exe: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=98105
NetFx20SP1_x64.exe: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=98106

Hey Ronald,

I have somewhat similar problems with the w3wp service. Apparently, ever since I upgraded the license for a CRM 4.0 server from Professional to Enterprise, the w3wp service is consuming a lot of processor power.

The machine with the CRM server has SP2 for .Net20 as well as .Net30.

One thing to note is that, if that XPS update is installed, the CrmAsyncService does not automatically start.

Thanks
