Message Text

The execution time of agent '%1' exceeded %2 milliseconds while handling event '%3' for message with InternetMessageId: '%4'. This is an unusual amount of time for an agent to process a single event. However, Transport will continue processing this message.

Explanation

This Warning event indicates that the transport agent referenced in the event description has taken longer than expected to process the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) event. The transport agent will continue to process the request until it is finished. This event may occur if either of the following conditions is true:

  • There are general performance issues on either the computer that is running the Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Hub Transport server role or the computer that is running the Exchange Server 2010 Edge Transport server role.

  • There are issues with the transport agent itself.

For more information about transport agents and SMTP events, see Understanding Transport Agents.

User Action

If this warning frequently occurs, follow one or more of these steps:

  • Resolve your issue by using self-support options, assisted support options, and other resources. You can access these resources from the Exchange Server Solutions Center. From this page, click Self-Support Options in the navigation pane to use self-help options. Self-help options include searching the Microsoft Knowledge Base, posting a question at the Exchange Server forums, and other methods. Alternatively, in the navigation pane, you can click Assisted Support Options to contact a Microsoft support professional. Because your organization may have a specific procedure for directly contacting Microsoft Product Support Services, be sure to review your organization's guidelines first.

  • Contact the third-party vendor who supports the respective transport agent if the transport agent is not created by Microsoft.

For More Information

If you are not already doing so, consider running the Exchange tools, which have been created to help you analyze and troubleshoot your Exchange environment. These tools can help make sure that your configuration aligns with Microsoft best practices. They can also help you identify and resolve performance issues and improve mail flow. To run these tools, go to the Toolbox node of the Exchange Management Console. To learn more about these tools, see Managing Tools in the Toolbox.
