Mail processing problems

Hi All,

When I try to process my mail with xp_findnextmsg or xp_readmail or xp_sendmail i get these errors:

Server: Msg 18025, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
xp_findnextmsg: failed with mail error 0x80004005
Queries processed: 0.
Server: Msg 18025, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
xp_readmail: failed with mail error 0x80004005
Server: Msg 18025, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
xp_sendmail: failed with mail error 0x80004005

my configuration is:
ms sql 2000 sp3
outlook 2003 as mapi client
sql server is started under account for which mapi profile is configured

Does anyone know what is wrong, and how to solve this problem?

Thanksdid you check eventviewer application and system error logs? do you get any errors while using outlook directly on the box?|||i've found what was the problem. When outlook started it deny acces to personal folders file (*.pst) for any other programm or process. And in normal way when I close outlook it should "release" that file, but that not happend. So now before processing mail i have to run xp_stopmail procedure, in other way mail processing will not be possible. And by the way in sql server error log i have these errors

2004-01-31 12:09:40.59 spid59 Error: 1073759806, Severity: 1, State: 0
2004-01-31 12:09:40.59 spid59 Starting SQL Mail session...
2004-01-31 12:09:40.60 spid59 Error: 1073759778, Severity: 1, State: 0
2004-01-31 12:09:40.60 spid59 SQL Mail session started..

on microsoft tech net they say :

These are informational (severity = 1) messages due to starting SQL Mail with xp_startmail. With SQL Server 2000, SQL Mail automatically starts when you run xp_sendmail, so use of xp_startmail is not necessary. You can ignore these messages.

thanks

Mail help

Hi,
(Sorry for the over-zealous cross posting - not sure which one to post to.)
I need to get SQL server to receive certain mail and process it directly.
If I go to SQL Mail in EM, properties it asks for a profile name to test,
but there's none their. The server is question has a mail profile set up so
I can read my email, so what do I do now?
Am I in the right plcae anyway? Never done this before, so completely lost.
Thanks in advance,
NEILNeil,
You need to link a MAPI profile to the SQL Server Agent service account. Log
on to the server as the SQL Server service account, configure Outlook, and
restart your services. You should now see the mail profile in the SQL Server
Agent properties dialogbox.

LSASS.EXE high CPU usage

I have a web/SQL server (Win2k3sp1, SQL2005) currently experiencing a serious
problem.
Regularly throughout the day, the LSASS.EXE process jumps from <2% CPU usage
to 50-70% CPU, sometime for 30 seconds, sometimes as long as 30 minutes. The
consequence of course being that the server goes to a constant 100% CPU
usage, causing services to be denied or be unacceptably slow. During normal
operation (when LSASS is behaving), the server spec is more than enough to
cope with it's workload, and runs at around 20% CPU usage.
There were issues with LSASS.EXE in Win2k, but none that I know of or can
find in Win2k3. This is not a SASSER type worm virus, it's genuine LSASS.EXE.
I'm not even sure if this is the cause of the problem or a symptom of
something else.
Please suggest something, this is a critical production server and this has
now become a serious issue.
Thanks.
Could you check in your eventLog and see if there are repeated error
messages , particuarly in Directory Services Log?

There are no errors regarding this in the log files, no out of the ordinary
errors or warnings are generated. Incidentally, the server is not a Domain
Controller so no DS logs.

There are no errors regarding this in the log files, no out of the ordinary
errors or warnings are generated. Incidentally, the server is not a Domain
Controller so no DS logs.

LSASS.EXE high CPU usage

I have a web/SQL server (Win2k3sp1, SQL2005) currently experiencing a seriou
s
problem.
Regularly throughout the day, the LSASS.EXE process jumps from <2% CPU usage
to 50-70% CPU, sometime for 30 seconds, sometimes as long as 30 minutes. The
consequence of course being that the server goes to a constant 100% CPU
usage, causing services to be denied or be unacceptably slow. During normal
operation (when LSASS is behaving), the server spec is more than enough to
cope with it's workload, and runs at around 20% CPU usage.
There were issues with LSASS.EXE in Win2k, but none that I know of or can
find in Win2k3. This is not a SASSER type worm virus, it's genuine LSASS.EXE
.
I'm not even sure if this is the cause of the problem or a symptom of
something else.
Please suggest something, this is a critical production server and this has
now become a serious issue.
Thanks.Could you check in your eventLog and see if there are repeated error
messages , particuarly in Directory Services Log?
