Systen log filling up with this error every minute?

[Guest Eric]

I have a Windows 2000 Server box that keeps filling up the system log with

the error: Server was unable to allocate a work item 2 times in the last 60

seconds. It writes this event about every minute and a half all day and all

night long even when noone is on the system. I have done a little research

and found a KB article that talks about upping the sytem pages but my setting

was already higher than what is suggested. Is this message cause for

concern? If so what can I do to fix it?

 

Thanks

Please copy and paste the content complete content of the particular

event here. Just the event in question, not the whole log. If you

double on the error then click on the little icon that looks like two

pages of paper it will copy the error message and you can then paste it

to your reply, once pasted it should something like this example:

 

 

Event Type: Information

Event Source: EventLog

Event Category: None

Event ID: 6005

Date: 18/09/2007

Time: 9:04:56 AM

User: N/A

Computer: SomeComputerName

Description:

The Event log service was started.

Here is the error:

Event Type: Warning

Event Source: Srv

Event Category: None

Event ID: 2021

Date: 10/2/2007

Time: 1:53:42 PM

User: N/A

Computer: SERVER1

Description:

The server was unable to allocate a work item 1 times in the last 60 seconds.

Data:

0000: 00 00 00 00 03 00 48 00 ......H.

0008: 00 00 00 00 e5 07 00 80 ....å..�

0010: 00 00 00 00 9a 00 00 c0 ....�..À

0018: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........

0020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........

 

 

This is popping up in the System log about every minute or two.

 

I'm not sure how to fix it. Any ideas would be great.

 

Thanks

Other than the earlier suggestion from Adrian all I can suggest is this:

 

How to troubleshoot Event ID 2021 and Event ID 2022

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317249

 

or that you do additional searching on Microsoft's site, something in

here may help:
