This server appears to be out of resources (RAM possibly?) again. Any ideas why that would be happening?

Not sure, its a virtual machine with 16GB of ram provisioned. Resource monitor has it holding steady at 41% memory in use.

Hmm... Let's try setting the registry size limit to the maximum value.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/124594

Manually set the RSL:

Run the Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE).
Locate the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control.
Modify the value RegistrySizeLimit (create it first it if it does not already exist) to reflect the desired size, in terms of bytes.
RegistrySizeLimit must have a type of REG_DWORD, and a data length of 4 bytes, or it is ignored. Set it to 0xffffffff (the maximum size allowable).
Restart the server for changes in RSL to take effect.

Will change and reboot during maintenance. Will follow up tomorrow.

After trying the RLS fix we were still having issues, I dug around some more and found that the DEFAULT hive was huge. A little google-fu led me to this KB article https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2871131 and after applying the patch and compacting the DEFAULT hive the issues appear to have cleared up.

Awesome! Great find :)

So everything on this server is functioning as expected?

 

[ammexico]

Yes, thanks for all your help!

Glad to help!

I'll mark this thread solved :thumbsup2:
