hi all

i am getting the following message every minute in the applications event logs

Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceDeletionEvent WITHIN 600
WHERE TargetInstance isa "Win32_PnPEntity"" could not be (re)activated in
namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x8004106c. Events may not be
delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.

the 0x8004106c error translates to

WBEM_E_QUOTA_VIOLATION
0x8004106C
Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP: WMI is taking up too much memory. This
can be caused by low memory availability or excessive memory consumption by
WMI.

however, i cant find any information on how to stop this error. can anyone
help?

thanks

These events are seen in every 15 minutes and the issue does not occur for a day or so if the server is rebooted.
The issue is not seen on servers which do not have Gateway Systems Manager installed.

Do you by any chance have Gateway Systems Manager Installed ??

If you do .....
Try uninstalling, reboot the Server, clear out the Event ID's and see if you can apply Fix : 828653 (Applicable for both Win 2003 + XP )
- Try reinstalling Gateway Systems Manager ??

Hi Jesmin

thanks for the suggestion. We dont have gateway systems manager installed.

However, i seem to have solved the problem, fingers crossed.

Recently I had to restore our ISA server confiuration to its original
configured state. Since this backup was created a number of config changes
had taken place. Most of these were put back but 1 chnage which i hadnt
documented was to set the proxy cache to use a smaller amount of free memory
than the 50% default. this was causing "w3proxy.exe" to use over 1.5GB of
the 3GB of ram we have in the server. since i changed the setting to 10%,
and restarted, no more of the errors have appeared. yet.

many thanks for the help
