I then chose to use the wizard. With the wizard it seemed that Sharepoint will attempt to use only one account for all of the services. I used WINSERVER2008\spt_service for all of them. I assume you’ll be able to change the service account for each service manually later on.
Once I finished the wizard there were some other services that need activation:
– Document conversion launcher service
– Document conversion load balancer service
– Sharepoint Foundation Help Search
– User profile synchronization service
– Lotus Notes connector
I could then activate each service except User Profile Synchronization Service. Somehow it asked me for User Profile Application which I haven’t created.
At this point performance degraded so much! I think I now know why we need more than 1GB of RAM for it. Each Sharepoint service that we activate consumes resources and with Sharepoint 2010, there are a lot more services that are activated compared to MOSS 2007.
There are two main services that consume most of my CPU:
– SQL Server
– Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation User Code Service
When the User Code Service is on – together with SQL Server – it consumed ~80% of my CPU most of the time. Since my VM only has 1GB of RAM, it made it to a non-workable state. Even moving a mouse was really-really slow.
I then managed to turn off the User Code Service and at this point CPU consumption was around 18-70%. It hit 18% and 70% quiet rarely, it normally stayed on 40-55%.
That’s all for me for today, it’s already 10:50PM. Please stay tuned, I’ll continue my investigation tomorrow!
Cheers and until next time,
Tommy
