Installing AvePoint 5.0

By peter.stilgoe

Update: After completely removing AvePoint & reinstalling with the new patches all works fine now.

AvePoint has just released version 5.0 of its SharePoint infrastructure management and protection solution. I recently installed this & for the short time I got to use it, it did look like a good product, a nice improvment on previous versions. I only got to use it for a short time because its management application, in particular the DocAveControl.exe process was using 100% CPU usage after a few minutes of operation.

After speaking to AvePoint support they have supplied me with a patch to upgrade the managment & agent applications to 5.0.0.1

The management server which we have the problem with is running Windows 2003 server SE SP1, .NET Framework 3.0

I will post back with more once the patches have been applied.
