tcpsvcs.exe taking all my memory!

[Guest Sandy Wood]

I've noticed lately that my Windows 2003 R2 DHCP server is showing evidence

of tcpsvcs.exe sucking up too much memory. This morning I started getting MOM

alerts that there was excess memory consumption from tcpsvcs so I killed the

process (it was using 650 meg of ram) and it started again at about 10 meg.

It's currently at about 25 meg. MOM is detecting that it's using too much ram

and sending me alerts. Does anyone have any idea on this one? I've seen other

posts in this forum with similar issues but no resolutions.

Hey Sandy,

Re: tcpsvcs.exe taking all my memory!

 

Thanks for the link. That's as close as I've come to finding a fix.

Unfortunatley, none of the fixes work for me. This server is a print server

as well as a DHCP server too. This may have something to do with it. For now,

I'll have to create a scheduled job to reboot the server every night to keep

the memory in check. I can't think of another way.
