Sarfraz Aslam 166

Hi,

From past couple of days i am facing memory utilization on SCCM 2203 server. I have checked that dllhost.exe (com surrogate) consuming lot of memory. Once i reboot the server, it comes to normal but with the passage of time it start increasing. Upon further checking it is pointing to SMS_Notification_Server services and dllhost.exe file location is in c:\windows\System32. I am not sure what is this service used for and how to deal with this problem.

Kindly share if any one have fix of this.

Regards

Make sure update your server and check for update for SCCM.
Try check log files.

Hi,

Please check the BGBServer.log to see if there is any error and check if the firewall blocks the port 10123/80 between the fast channel notification server and agent.

Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

Hi,

Thank you for your reply and apology for the inconvenience.

It is actually smsexec.exe service that is eating up memory gradually. My SCCM version is 2203. It observed that it is happening after upgrade to 2203. Is this known issue in 2203 reported anywhere? or any fix of it?

Hi,

Thanks for your information.

During my research, there is a known issue about SMS Executive service (smsexec.exe) consumes more memory than expected, but it's for earlier version 2010. Refer to KB 4599442

If possible, we could try to upgrade to the latest version 2207 to have a try.

I will keep an eye on this issue, if I find anything useful, I will keep you on posted.

Best regards,
Simon
