Title: What does Mitel.PIM.ServiceHost32.exe do?
Post by: browlry on April 27, 2016, 12:59:12 PM

I'm cross-posting this question from the Mitel User Group forum.

Launching MiCollab for one of our users always brought up an error window:

Title bar: "Error (Not Responding)"
Content: "The operating system is not presently configured to run this application."
[OK]

The funny thing was, MiCollab was still working fine, even with the error message there. The error message just stopped responding when I tried to dismiss it. I looked in the task manager and found it was actually running under a separate process, called "Mitel.PIM.ServiceHost32". I could kill this process from the task manager without any obvious ill effects: MiCollab kept running fine.

Uninstalling and reinstalling MiCollab had no effect.

I ended up renaming "Mitel.PIM.ServiceHost32.exe" to "MItel.PIM.ServiceHost32.exe.old" just so it wouldn't run. Everything seems to be fine working now. What is "Mitel.PIM.ServiceHost32" supposed to do, anyway? Is something going to go terribly wrong in the future since I am keeping this from running?

I'm just guessing, but it could be the link between Outlook and MiCollab - and therefore of minor value. 

Or I could be completely wrong.

That would make sense, based on this discussion:
