Exchange: The WS-Management service cannot process the request. The system load quota of 1000 requests per 2 seconds has been exceeded

--Anand-- Exchange Server July 2, 2015 1 Minute

Are you getting this following error in Exchange Console or Shell?

Connecting to remote server ExchServer.company.com failed with the following error message : The WS-Management service cannot process the request. The system load quota of 1000 requests per 2 seconds has been exceeded. Send future requests at a slower rate or raise the system quota.

It means, IIS/PowerShell App Pool is over loaded.

I saw on other sites on more drastic solution like running IISReset on Admin privileged command prompt. That would affect entire Exchange client features.

Solution:

Logon to the specfic Exchange server on the error message
Open IIS Management Console and navigate to IIS Application Pools
Restart PowerShell App Pools

  This is great for a band-aid but how can you fix it permanently? The server is not over loaded, but seems to be overloading the application pool after being up and running over a long period of time. How do you increase the quota may be a better answer here.
