Application log flooded with errors

[PMX-Martijn]

We are getting a lot of errors in the eventlog

• System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): Access is denied at System.Diagnostics.ProcessManager.OpenProcess(Int32 processId, Int32 access, Boolean throwIfExited) at System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessHandle(Int32 access, Boolean throwIfExited) at System.Diagnostics.Process.set_PriorityClass(ProcessPriorityClass value) at ProcessArbiter.ProcessManagerEngine.DecrementProcessPriority(Process process)

it seems that processarbiter is working normal, but can we do something to prevent this?

It seems that ProcessArbiter is trying to decrement the priority of a process which is protected by the OS (base priority N/A).
You need to add those process to the ignore list in the ProcessArbiterService.exe.config config file.

To fix the issue:

1. open Windows Task Manager and make sure the columne Base priority is displayed
2. Sort Process by this columne, so that processes with Base priority N/A are on top
3. Open %ProgramFiles%\ProcessArbiter\ProcessArbiterService.exe.config in a Editor (e.g. Notepad)
4. Find <setting name="IgnoreProcessList" serializeAs="Xml">
5. Add a new <string>...</string> entry for each process name, which has Base priority N/A (make sure to type the process names in small letters).
6. Restart the ProcessArbiter Service

In general you can add any process name, which should be ignored by ProcessArbiter.
