xaDriveMapping.exe Causes High CPU Usage

PROBLEM BEHAVIOR

When XA is installed in Single User Mode, the 'xadrivemapping.exe' will fail to terminate and be running at ~30% CPU usage.

If the session is locked and unlocked, several more instances of xadrivemapping.exe may spawn and the CPU will be pegged at 100% usage.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

xaDriveMapping.exe will terminate itself after starting on a Standard User Mode system.

AFFECTS:

XA running in Standard User Mode, versions lower than 4.12.3.

ROOT CAUSE:

There is an infinite loop in the Terminate event of the main form where it is waiting for the drive mapping script to end - but since it never started one, it never receives the notification that it has terminated.

RESOLUTION

  1. Upgrade the client system to 4.12.3(or higher) or
  2. Delete the following registry setting

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HealthCast\eXactACCESS\notification]
XADriveMapping.clsXALoginNotification=eXactACCESS Kiosk Mode Drive Mapping"
