Guest Jon H Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Hello, I have a W2003 Terminal Services server providing access to an accounting package MYOB Enterprise. This software is supported as TS compatible by the developer. The server is a dual Xeon box with 4GB RAM, there are 15 clients. MYOB crashes without warning, with a message along the lines of "the memory could not be read". I am trying to track the cause and have been using perfmon. I notice in time frames surrounding a crash, page faults / sec can rise to 100,000 or more for a couple of seconds. The application executable myobp.exe does not seem to be directly causing this as I have tracked page faults against that prog. I would like to find out which exe (if any) is causing this. Is there a way I can get perfmon to report which apps (or other) is responsible for the spike? Any assistance is welcome, Thanks -- Jon H
Guest Von Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 RE: Page faults and crashing apps Hello Jon, You can monitor the proces with perfmon by adding a item in perfmon and then you select the proces thats used by youre application. -- Best regards, Von "Jon H" wrote: > Hello, > > I have a W2003 Terminal Services server providing access to an accounting > package MYOB Enterprise.

Guest Jon H Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 RE: Page faults and crashing apps Thanks Von, perhaps I need to clarify. I know how to check to see how many page faults / sec are being caused by a known application; my problem is that I don't know which application to try. I have tried the main app myobp.exe but this is not generating many page faults at the time of spike. So which one do I try for next? Or is there a way that perfmon (or some other utility) can tell me which apps are generating the page faults? -- Jon H "Von" wrote: > Hello Jon, > > You can monitor the proces with perfmon by adding a item in perfmon and then > you select the proces thats used by youre application. > -- > Best regards, > > Von > > > "Jon H" wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > I have a W2003 Terminal Services server providing access to an accounting > > package MYOB Enterprise.
