Re: Winlogon Memory Leak

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Taking a closer look at your screen shot I see that w3wp.exe is using up
about the same amount of memory. I bet you find w3wp.exe running under
winlogon.exe - services.exe - svchost with process explorer. I have a web
farm that winlogon.exe takes up about 500meg of memory also but it runs
there normally because of several w3wp.exe worker processes from the web
sites we run. Does the memory usuage keep climbing until things break?

Several of our production servers (all running Windows Server 2003 SP1 -
Standard x64 and Web Edition) are experiencing memory leaks in one of the
Winlogon processes. The Winlogon process that leaks is always the one
associated with session 0. If I look at the process list using Task
Manager, I'll see large values (up to hundreds of megabytes) in the "Mem
Usage" and "VM Size" columns. I've attached a screen dump. Most of the
affected servers have all the latest Windows patches.

Any idea what might be causing this? I couldn't find anything in the
Knowledge Base. Thanks,

- Greg
