HP SIM spawning hundreds of processes

[asdraper]

Hello all,

I have HP SIM set up to monitor about 20 HP servers, all using VCA with the VCRM on the central server.  I have one server that, on occassion, will spawn several hundred instances of conhost.exe, cmd.exe, and wscript.exe, all going out to the central server using the credentials setup only for use from the HP SIM.  The only thing that I can see is that there is one critical update available according to the VCA, but no other machine reacts this way when there is an update.  Any idea what could be causing these processes / why they would continue to respawn over and over again?
