@Bruce I got Meraki Support to check out my Active Directory integration. They said there is nothing wrong with the current setup. Use of domain admin to connect to DC is fine. There is no rights issue. The memory usage on the server is pretty low at about 20%. I suspect where the MX scrapes the security logs for logon events and using WMI to match users to IP address is what is causing the high CPU Usage. Are you able to confirm this?

Bruce, I checked the CPU Usage. The is high CPU Usage on the event log service.

I have a MX100 deployed in my work environment. All features have been working smoothly until we decided to integrate the Active directory function using our DNS servers and group policies on the MX. Ever since we enabled the Active Directory we have noted that the CPU usage would go up 100%. I have tested this repeatedly and know that when i disable the Active Directory function on the MX the CPU level on my DNS server drops to 5%. I now know for a fact that it is the Active Directory authentication and whatever process is running on the DNS server that results in High CPU Usage. I would like to know why there is high cpu usage when i enable the Active Directory authentication. I have about 4 other remote sites that i want to enable Active Directory but this will make my CPU usage to up to 100%. The DNS server is running on a VM Ware virtual machine is using about 12 cores of CPU already. I will not keep increasing my CPU capacity as this is not practically suitable. Please help i need solutions.
