Re: TS 2003 and Event ID 333



Yes this is the EventID 333 I am refering to and yes I reviewed the info from
eventid.net and most relevent info I can find online.
Yes, AV software was running and the problem did NOT go away when it was
removed. The only way this problem clears up, so far, is to reboot, chkdsk
the drives and keep the user count below 40.

As for what has been tried...
Verified firmware drivers for all hardware is current with matching software
drivers, removed and re-instated /PAE (these are 32bit systems), verified
version of certain system dlls as recommended in different posts online.
currently were have been varying the paged pool thresholds looking for the
"sweet" spot.
All of these things have little to no effect.
We may find a new setting that makes the error go away, but my gut says we
won't have solved the problem becasue the cause is not being identified.
The registry and and boot.ini settings were all fine prior to April so I
can't see any changes there as "fixing" the problem only masking it.

I would appreciate any suggestions that can pinpoint the true cause.

Assuming that you mean
EventID: 333
Source: Application Popup
Description: An I/O operation initiated by the Registry failed
unrecoverably. The Registry could not read in or write out or flush
one of the files that contain the system's image of the Registry.

what have you tried already? Have you checked the solutions
mentioned on eventid.net:
http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=333&eventno=5757
&source=Application%20Popup&phase=1

Are you running anti-virus software on the servers? Does the
problem disappear when you uninstall it?

I know there have been other similar posts about ID 333 and much
online, however most of that either doesn't apply or I have
tried with no success.

I am hoping someone may have some other clues to follow in this
specific scenario as I am tiring of registry hacks and various
process and memory monitoring to fix this.
I have 3 Windows 2003 servers running TS for remote desktop use.
As of April 1 all 3 have been experiencing the 333 error
sometimes as many as 20 entries per second in the event log.
All servers are SP2 with all critical updates.
The servers have been servicing many users, as many as 60 per
server, without this problem prior to April 1. In all the
attempts to fix so far we have isolated the trigger point to be
when the user count exceeds 40. This limit was not a problem
before, so I don't see it as the cause. No new software other
than April security paches were added prior to his event.
Applications hosted for users on these servers are mostly MS
Office 2003, with IE7, Acrobat, BusinessVision.

Dose any one have any idea what may have changed to cause this
problem, or where to look to identify the cause?
