Not sure if this is the right fix? We've added this issue to our memory dump diagnostic which can confirm.
Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You have a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista.
-
You open a task in the Task Scheduler Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in window, and you click the History tab.
-
You use one of the following methods to update history events:
-
You right-click the upper panel of the task and then select Refresh.
-
You right-click Task Scheduler Library in the left panel and then select Refresh.
-
In this scenario, the handle count and the Virtual Bytes for the Windows event log service keep increasing. Over time, the user mode virtual address space is used up.
When user mode virtual address space is used up, you may experience one or more of the following symptoms:
-
Event Viewer cannot display events, and you receive an error message that resembles the following:
no more threads can be created in the system
-
When viewing the task history, you receive an error message that resembles the following:
The user account does not have permission to view task history on this computer
-
The Ipconfig.exe utility cannot display network adapter configuration information.
-
You cannot establish terminal server session to the computer.
-
You cannot access shared files or shared printers on the computer.
Note
-
This issue does not occur if you right-click any history event on the History tab and then select Refresh.
-
The Windows event log service runs in a Svchost.exe process. You can run the tasklist -svc command to determine which Svchost.exe process the service runs in.
Cause
This issue occurs because the Task Scheduler MMC snap-in does not release allocated memory resource in a timely manner. Therefore, user mode virtual address space is used up if you frequently update scheduled task history events by using the methods that are described in the "Symptoms" section.
