Guest Alex Loh Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Currently we are seeing a memory leak occuring in svchost process via Task Manager in Windows 2003 sp1. Upon investigation, we found out that svchost's services are as below: - Application Experience Lookup Service - Background Intelligent Transfer Service - Cryptographic Services - COM+ Event System - Server - Workstation - Network Connections - Network Location Awareness (NLA) - Task Scheduler - System Event Notification - Windows Management Instrumentation The svchost consume up to 200+ MB in 10 days after reboot. Anybody have any idea how to overcome this issue.

You will need to select a suitable column via the View pull-down menu.

If you go this route, I suggest also installing the post-SP2 update that turns off the SNP. - Thee Chicago Wolf
