High memory Usage on Windows 2008 R2 Sp1 DC problem. - Physical machine, Not a VM.
Problem started approx 4 months ago. Seeing High memory Usage on Windows 2008 R2 Sp1 DC. Paged Pool memory seems very high at approx 16GB. The top tag LS$S reads 16GB in the bytes column and the Tag relates to srv.sys and srv2.sys drivers. We installed KB4056897
in April and KB4103718 Addresses an issue that may cause a memory leak on SMB servers after installing KB4056897. But our servers do not match the exact conditions detailed in KB4103718.
From Poolmon we see Tag: LS$S Allocs at 1000,016,900 bytes and Frees at 829,796,212 bytes and Diff at 170,220,677 bytes we also see LSASS.exe Memory(Private) at over 8GB in Task Mgr.
Other DC's also have very high memory usage and Paged Pool memory usage is increasing daily. We reboot the servers to prevent them from running out of resources, it could take a few months for them to deplete their resources.
Are their any known issues that you are aware of regarding SMB and paged pool memory that has arisen recently?
