tcpsvcs.exe taking all my memory!

[Sandy Wood]

I've noticed lately that my Windows 2003 R2 DHCP server is showing evidence
of tcpsvcs.exe sucking up too much memory. This morning I started getting MOM
alerts that there was excess memory consumption from tcpsvcs so I killed the
process (it was using 650 meg of ram) and it started again at about 10 meg.
It's currently at about 25 meg. MOM is detecting that it's using too much ram
and sending me alerts. Does anyone have any idea on this one? I've seen other
posts in this forum with similar issues but no resolutions.

Thanks for the link. That's as close as I've come to finding a fix.
Unfortunatley, none of the fixes work for me. This server is a print server
as well as a DHCP server too. This may have something to do with it. For now,
I'll have to create a scheduled job to reboot the server every night to keep
the memory in check. I can't think of another way.
