Guest Gis Bun Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Hi. We have 2 DCs. Both running just about the same software and services. Both have DNS. Server "A" also has DHCP. Server "B" doesn't. Noticed recently on Server "A" that services.exe is sucking up 140 MB of RAM [as per the task manager] while services.exe on Server "B" is hovering at around 40 MB of RAM. Both have Win 2K3 SP2. Both should be up to date on any security updates. Ideas? [Aside from rebooting].
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Re: services.exe sucking up RAM Hello Gis, Services.exe is a core Windows process. It basically handles all Windows Services (start/stop/launch). TLIST.EXE can help you to find out, for downloading see the end of article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824344 Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. ** Please do NOT email, only reply to Newsgroups ** HELP us help YOU!!! http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm > Hi.

Guest Pedro CR Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Re: services.exe sucking up RAM check out Process Explorer from Sysinternals http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/processexplorer.mspx and also Process Monitor http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/processmonitor.mspx I believe that with both you well get a very detailled look under the hood to see what's going on.
