Hi Technet,
I have a Server 08 R2 installation with process svchost.exe gradually increases memory usage over time until the servers performance suffers.
Using process explorer, in the handles pane, errors in path C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\datastore.edb
The error:(An error occurred while reading or writing to a file).
Stopping the Windows update service clears the errors, restarting and they appear again.
I have run the Microsoft windows update fixit.
I have renamed the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder and allowed it to rebuild its contents.
I have used esentutl to both repair and defrag the datastore.edb, both performed successfully.
However the errors persist.
Can anyone assist in what my next troubleshooting steps would be please?
Thanks,
Andrew
