Yes, as mentioned by Jason there are some hotfixes to prevent memory/WMI leaks. Try to install those. And if that is not resolving your issue then you would need to increase the WMI memory allocation as mentioned in my blog :) Anoop C Nair - This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees, and confers no rights. |Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
