Also you may be able to better trace the fault when the Pool is almost depleted. Knowing the limit of your Nonpaged Pool, can help you keep track of the memory usage, and using tools like GFI’s RMM you can set an alert on the Nonpaged Pool so that when it reaches X % full, you will have time to react. Which is the missing piece of the puzzle if you want to know how long you have before another meltdown. With Process Explorer correctly configured, you can view your Nonpaged Pool limit.

In order to get this to show useful data you will need to install the Debugging Tools, from the Windows SDK. The most interesting items are highlighted below.Īs you can see it currently shows ‘No Symbols’. Notice you see a lot of process and memory counters here, far more than i understand at least. That is, the limit of your Nonpaged Pool.Ĭlick On the View menu, and then click System Information. It can also show us a very crucial piece of information, if you are having problems with the Nonpaged Pool. I am side tracking slightly by going into this much detail on Process Explorer, but if you are new to it, there are some great posts out there on how to track performance issues, and malware just with Process Explorer. Just hover over the process you are interested in, and you can see some more information. Process Explorer has the advantage of showing us a process by process breakdown, which i personally like more than Task Manager, as a process like Lsass.exe can have multiple things running within it and you cannot find that with Task Manager. You can add a column to view the Nonpaged Pool usage, (Under View, Select Columns, Process Memory Tab)Īdding this column can help you track which process has a large amount of memory in the Nonpaged pool.Īll of this is quite straight forward, and of course we could also use the Performance Manager tool to show us the current state of Nonpaged pool memory, or even Task Manager. When you load it up you get a detailed view of what is running on your system, more detailed than the standard task manager.

Process Explorer runs as an EXE and does not require installation, you can run it directly from the Microsoft website, or you can download it and run it. I am not suggesting this to be a long term fix or solution, just to allow you to ‘manage’ a reboot in advance of a server crash, and maybe save face if consistent ‘unexplainable’ crashes have started to make your client a little cranky.įirst off you can use Process Explorer, one of the best monitoring tools around, and one I’m sure we have all used. However, the purpose of this post is to show you that there is indeed an early warning of these events, if you look in the right place. I know to reboot the server now, because after trying many solutions i have not found one that will reverse the position, nor have i so far found the cause. This is somewhat of a pain because the error seems to happen with no early warning, you simply get a call one day from the client saying ‘can’t access the X drive’ and after a few minutes trying to RDP in, you resolve to logon to the DRAC/ILO and reboot. I have seen this occur on Servers and Workstations, there are a lot of fixes suggested online, but so far nothing that has helped me track the usage of the Nonpaged pool. The Server was unable to allocate from the system Nonpaged pool because the pool was empty.
In my experience this will be Event ID 2019, Source, SRV.

You may have experienced a similar condition after regaining access to the server you will most likely see that the System log is full of Errors. You will also be unable to launch applications if you manage to logon to the server locally. You can still ping the server, and it still processes some basic commands, like a shutdown command, but it does not allow browsing files or folders, and you cannot RDP to the server.
I currently have a clients server that every so often experiences a condition where it stops responding to network requests.
