Hi folks, Mark Ghazai here once again with a quick tidbit on tweaking the WMI Provider Service (WMIPRVSE.EXE). We’ve been getting some calls recently about the performance of this service and some failures that customers have been experiencing – in particular “Out of Memory” errors when certain WMI-related tasks are running. We’ve talked about various memory management issues in previous posts, but the WMI Provider Service has some interesting quotas that administrators should be aware of. So, as the saying goes … tally ho!
Within the WMI System Classes there is a configuration class for host provider processes. The name of this class is _ProviderHostQuotaConfiguration. This class allows limits to be set on host process usage of system resources.
