I don't think two CPU's are enough for Exchange 2007. First check, If 2 CPU's are properly assigned to the server. If possible add 2 more and the check again. Also make sure VMware tools are upto date on your Exchange server, as I faced similar issue and issue was VMware tools were not updated.

Hi All,<br />
<br />
We have Exchange Server 2007 SP3 and the CPU on that server is at 100% all the time during working hours. The two processes which take the most CPU are Store.exe and EdgeTransport.exe.<br />
<br />
Store.exe takes about almost 50% and EdgeTrasport.exe is at 10% or 20%. The memory RAM is always at 20% which isn't helping it. I found many users outlook wasn't set in cache mode so i started to enable that for them but it's still not helping. This server is running on VMware ESXi 5.1.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure what could be causing the issue here.

CPU 100% on Exchange 2007 Server

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.

Email Servers

Microsoft applications include a variety of software programs, including development and digital authoring programs (Expression and Media Center), educational programs, Internet software, including Essentials, Skype and the Live family, anti-virus, productivity applications and suites like Office, Excel, Word, Outlook, Access and PowerPoint, video games and server applications such as Exchange, SharePoint, IIS and Virtual Server.
