The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

After moving the Despooler service on to a helper server, approximately every
five minutes the number of both paged and non-paged bytes used by the SMS
Executive (Smsexec.exe) increases by one.

CAUSE
=====

When Smsexec.exe goes through the thread list and finds the internal registry
key of the SMS_DESPOOLER = NULL, it adds 192 bytes every minute to both the
system pool non-paged and paged bytes. The actual smsexec.log message is as
follows:

~Going through the thread list...   $$<SMS_EXECUTIVE><Sat Dec 02 15:16:59
1995~><thread=D5>
~Internal registry key is NULL for thread SMS_DESPOOLER
$$<SMS_EXECUTIVE><Sat Dec 02 15:16:59 1995~><thread=D5>


STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.0 and 1.1. This problem has been corrected in Systems Management
Server version 1.2.
