Re: Why is winlogon taking too much memory?



I have this problem too with 2 of my Dell PowerEdge Windows 2003 SP1
machines. I'm running ASP.NET web services on them and winlogon.exe is
eating up over 400 MB. I disabled my virus protection, patrol monitoring
agents, etc. in hope to free up this service's memory but it didn't help. I
have noticed a lot of open connections to my SQL server though. Could this
cause the problem?

Any ideas?
