Symptoms

When some RPC requests return ecMaxThreadsPerMdbExceeded or ecMaxThreadsPerSCTExceeded errors in a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 environment, a memory leak or memory corruption occurs on Exchange Client Access servers or Hub Transport servers. Additionally, Microsoft Outlook cannot connect to Exchange servers, and some events that resemble the following are logged in the event log:
