Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 - Periodic Crashes

[Christopher C. Welber]

Hello All.

I have A windows storage server 2003 R2, that started to have A memory
leak in the tcpsrvr module. I troubleshooted using process explorer and
it seemed like the DHCPServer module was the issue, when I would start
and stop it the memory leak would go from using about 800megs of ram
back to almost nothing. I reinstalled the DHCP server and all seemed
fine, now it's crashing again.

What would people recommend as best practices to continue
troubleshooting? I would love to hear how folks here would go about A
troubleshoot on this one.

I love the Morales series of troubleshooting articles in Windows NT Pro
magazine, but what tools and techniques would folks in this group
advocate and recommend?

Thanks in advance.

An update on my own thread. I think the tcpscvs.exe module is continuing
to leak, so it may not just be the dhcpserver module at fault but
something else as well.
