Re: Lots of EventID 2020s and not enough Kernel Memory?

When you say stable? How are you measuring this? What is you kernel memory
usage and which hardware did you swap?

Hello,

My problem has not re-occurred for over two weeks. The only real
difference
being a swap of hardware. I have been monitoring the memory using
performance
manager and it has been stable.

Any news on this issue?
That KB article I mentioned seems to have slowed things, but the paged
pool
still slowly but surely seems to be increased. Was at 230Mb after a
couple
of weeks so have restarted the server to cancel things out.

What is a safe level for this to sit at?

This is memory leak, not a memory fault. Something is eating up Kernel
memory and not giving it back.

I read something in PC Pro about a Kapersky AV scanner and was linked
to a
knowledgebase article on Norton AV KB177078 I think or similar -
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q177078

but I think I'm still getting the problem.

What software are you running?

I have MDaemon, Sophos, Backup Exec 10d with CPS, AD DC, DNS, DHCP,
Netgear Print Servers, HP Print servers on print queues on the server.

I did a counter log over a week or so and the graph is a nice smooth
straight line upwards.

Server 2003, latest patches with 2Gb RAM and RAID5 on a SmartArray
controller.

Let me know if you find anything out.

Hello,

I to am getting this same issue and very regularly.
I have a HP ProLiant ML150 and am currently tackling it from a
hardware
perspective. Has anyone else tried swapping memory out or is everyone
convinced this is software based?

I have a Win2k3 server which is a DC for a 3 server Active Directory.

It is an HP ML350 G4p and was running fine for 3 weeks or so in
December
last year shortly after it was installed. In late January and early
February
this year, it has started to run out of kernel memory (I think) and
fall
over as it is unable to write to the registry any more or perform
some
other
disk operations.

This does not happen underload, but at apparently random intervals
usually
days apart.

There is nothing obviously wrong with the server, but suggestions
would
be
most welcome.

Sorry if this isn't specifically Win2k related, but I can't find a
Server
2003 newsgroup to post it to.

Thanks in advance.

Adrian
