If you have SMSESp.exe causing high CPU load on your exchange server, you have the "Rescan information store when new virus definitions arrive" in the "Auto-Protect" section turned on in Symantec AntiVirus/Filtering for Microsoft Exchange 2000.

The best way to fix this is to turn it off and then set up a scheduled scan. That way you have the latest Anti-virus protection on your new incoming messages, but can put off the high CPU load scanning unitl off hours for the existing messages.

I am posting this so it will show up in google and other search engines. So far the problem has been described, but not the solution.

Here are the processes from Task Manager:
SMSESp.exe (3 instances)
SMSESJM.exe
SMSELog.exe
SMSECtrl.exe
SMSESrv.exe
SMSEUI.exe
SMSETask.exe
