SVCHost NetSVCS On Windows Server 2008 Standard memory leak with windows update

I have a particular situation that has surfaced lately.  I have a series of Windows Server 2008 Standard.  I have applications that use WMI to do application interfacing.  For years this has been running fine until recenly in the last month
I have seen memory being swallowed by the process SVCHost Netsvcs.  I have done significant research into this.  The problem appears almost like clock work on a daily basis.  I have traced this to windows update which seems to kick off, it is
also using WMI, it starts and seems to get lost then netsvcs starts running off until all memory is consumed and the svchost process eventually fails.  At that point I can get back into the system to view it. If I catch it in time I can simply stop windows
update but sometimes I have to take the drastic and unsafe measure to kill that particular svchost process. 
There are a lot of threads regarding SVCHost and nothing comes remotely close to this issue as far as I can see.
I have allready ensured that windows update is up to date. 
At present I am forced to ensure that windows update is disabled. I then have to manually shut down the other services that are using WMI to do an update.  This means down time for my applications realtime updates.

Hi,
does this issue occur on a single server or multiple servers? And is it server 2008 or 2008 R2?  (if 2008R2 there is a
hotfix
available which would seem a good fit for your current issue).

  • Windows 8.1 RDP Issues with Windows Server 2008 Standard.

    I have an issue maintaining an RDP connection from 64-bit windows 8.1 (standard and pro) to 32-bit Windows Server 2008 Standard.  Initial connection is normal, and as long as I am constantly typing on the link, for the most part it stays up. However
    if I do not keep typing, or go to another desktop program for a few minutes, and then go back, the following happens:
    If I am typing into notepad (or some screen that does not require windows to be refreshed) I can continue to do so, so the connection has not been lost, however if I try to do something that requires more extensive exchange of information (like file
    - open, or even trying to pull up the start menu), the connection pauses with about half the screen refreshed, sometimes after about 30 seconds a bit more of the screen fills out, but otherwise the connection is not responsive. Then after about 2 minutes,
    RDP reconnects, at which point I am back to "normal".  I have conducted some tests and made inquiries of others attempting to connect to the server.
    1) I can connect to other Windows (servers 2008 R2 and 2012)  with no connection issues from this PC
    2) I can connect to the 32-bit server with no issues using Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows 7 from the same location as the WIndows 8.1 PC
    3) When I do a network speed test while having these issues I see full download and upload speeds, so I am not experiencing intermittent internet issues.
    4) No-one else from other locations (not of course using Windows 8.1) has any issues using RDP to the 32-bit Windows Server Standard.
    These various tests seem to eliminate my network connection, and other operating systems, from the equation, and point to RDP issues on windows 8.1 connecting to the older OS.  I noticed in the September updates, a case 2989039 which seemed to point
    to similar issues when using UDP through Remote Desktop Gateway.  That update is on my machine, and my connection has the setting Automatically detect RD Access Gateway server settings.
    Any thoughts anyone?

    Hi  RonaldRenaud,
    If my understanding is right, this RDP issue only occur in the connection between Windows 8.1 and Server 2008.
    Please check if you have installed the update kb2984006.
    To resolve this issue caused by update 2989039, install update rollup 2984006. For more information, please refer to the following KB.

  • Installing CF9 on Windows Server 2008 Standard 64-bit

    Hi-
    I'm attempting to  install a new ColdFusion configuration with a host who is useless  regarding the support that they offer (for now, they shall remain  nameless).
    It's a Windows Server 2008 Standard 64 bit VPS  configuration. MySQL is already installed so I'm on the hook to  configure ColdFusion 9 with IIS (7.5, I believe). There are numerous  settings which the installer does not seem to address so I've had to  address several Module Mappings which failed during the install....
    Can  anyone point me to an installation doc for the above configuration?  Will the CF installer eventually handle these issues or are we on our  own to support this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rich

    My advice is to get out now and go to a site like hosting.com that has a solid track record hosting CF. There are several others to choose from. If they are starting this rough you will have constant problems.

  • OS 10.7, SMB Connection, Change to Unicode with Extended Security on Windows Server 2008 Standard

    Hi All,  I've searched Google, and I've also contacted Apple Support with no luck:  I want to implement unicode with extended security on Windows Server 2008 Standard server shared folders so that Lion can connect normally (i.e. Finder->Go->Connect to Server->IP Address or server name) to SMB shares and access files.  I'm lacking information; has anyone actually implemented unicode with extended security?  If so, how?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Unable to join Mac OS X 10.7.4 to windows server 2008 Standard SP2 Domain

    Hi everyone,
    I have an issue regarding the above, i have to connect several MBK pro using OS X 10.7.4 to a Windows Server 2008 Standard Service Pack 2.
    I tried joining it using Static IP configurations, and using Domain names but it returns an error as Unable to connect to server and an error code 5302.
    Please does anybody have a hint to this issue.....your help will be most appreciated.
    Best Regards,
    Iven.

    I have verified every required settings closely and had it cross checked over and over again with the network administrator himself, every settings was in place but when i tried to bind with the domain it returns server not found.
    I also ping the server and it works....i verified the RJ45 cable...all is fine.
    i tried updating from 10.7.3 to 10.7.4 but the problem persists.
    Infact originally i had to bind the Mac OS X 10.7.3 and 10.7.4  to a Windows Server 2008 Standard SP2, it didn't worked then afterwards i tried to bind them to a Windows Server 2008 R2....it worked on 2 but on the third it didn't.
    So does anybody have an idea or can anyone confirm me if Windows Server 2008 Standard SP2 is compatible with Mac OS X 10.7.4???

  • 1. Will CAL Licenses works if i use Windows Server 2012? 2. What GB of RAM can be used with Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition?

    I have been using Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition for my business purpose and there are at-least 30 Users who logged in into the server Via Remotely from different location. I want to upgrade my server with latest one with some extra cores and RAM for
    better and smooth operations for all users. So, i have a doubt whether my CAL Licenses will works with Windows Server 2012 or i need to purchase the new one for the same?

    Hi again,
    th eupgrade optiuon from Standard 2008 to Enterprise 2008 was only available for customers with open value contract with activ esoftware assurance then they can purchase the step up license from Standard to Enterprise.
    the only way to have the Enterprise 2008 Edition is to make th edowngrad efrom 2012 Standard to 2008 Enterprise. it means that if you purchase the 2012 R2 Standard Edition, you may downgarde to Enterprise 2008/2008 R2. th ebest way to make the downgrade
    to 2008 R2 Enterprise is to purchase the current Version 2012 R2 Standard in volume licensing than you can download diretly from VLSC the Enterprise Edition.
    with your downgrade you can still using the 2008 CALs.
    thanks

  • Intermittant disconnection of Shared Drives on Windows 7 Client machines hosted in WIndows Server 2008 Standard Edition

    The environment - Windows Server 2008 Standard/Windows 7 32 bit Client machine.
    Share - It is not a DFS share.
    Antivirus - McAfee
    The issue - 1 user is unable to connect to a particular shared drive hosted from within the Windows Server 2008 Standard file server.  This drive is one of the multiple drives which are supposed to be connected to the user machine during logon using
    the logon script.  All the other drives mentioned in the logon script gets mapped fine but one particular drive does not.  The user uses a laptop and we have checked his connections while in LAN, Wireless, VPN.  Everything seems to be working
    fine apart from this one shared drive.  Rest of the users within that office gets the drive fine but just not this one user.  Since we are not domain admins so we do not have a visibility of the group policies linked to this particular drive and
    hence RSOP as well does not help.  We have not seen the user getting logged into the machine using a TEMP profile as well for us to ascertain that the issue may be with a TEMP profile logon. 
    Please note that the drive does get connected at times and at times the connection just drops off!  As an interim measure the local IT has created a batch file and given it to the user which maps the drive for the user. 
    Any help in resolving this long impending issue would be much appreciated!
    Suman

    Hi Suman,
    You could keep the session always active to workaround this issue. Please open Control Panel -> Administrative tools -> Local Security Policy -> Local Policy -> Security Options and set the value of the policy Microsoft Network Server:Amount
    of idle time required before suspending a session to 99999 and see how it works.
    This security setting determines the amount of continuous idle time that must pass in a Server Message Block (SMB) session before the session is suspended due to inactivity. Administrators can use this policy to control when a computer suspends an inactive
    SMB session. If client activity resumes, the session is automatically reestablished. For this policy setting, a value of 0 means to disconnect an idle session as quickly as is reasonably possible. The maximum value is 99999, which is 208 days; in effect, this
    value disables the policy.
    For more detailed information, please refer to the thread below:
