a windows 2003 R2 SP2 server with AD,DNS,DHCP are leaking memory

In about a week it has taken 1,5Gb of RAM

any solutions?

1) Try restarting the service - if that does not free up memory, reboot.

2) Now download any missing critical updates from Microsoft Update if your
server is allowed to do this.

3) Finally, monitor memory usage by tpsvcs.exe - if it gets out of hand,
look for system event log messages re DHCP, DNS, or AD errors.

This happened to our two DCs after I reconfigured DHCP drastically to assign
reserved IP addresses to 50% of our workstations (to split gateway usage).
Nothing wrong with my work, but MS Update and reboot fixed problem. In blind
panic I did not think of trying to restart the service, but that should free
up memory.
