Any advice on this Windows error log entry? I has occurred only 12 time in 23 days this month.
Source WMI, Event ID 5612
Windows Management Instrumentation has stopped WMIPRVSE.EXE because a quota reached a warning value.
Quota: HandleCount Value: 4237 Maximum value: 4096
WMIPRVSE PID: 5172
Providers hosted in this process:
%systemroot%\system32\wbem\ntevt.dll, PArt of WMI
%systemroot%\system32\wbem\cimwin32.dll, Part of WMI
%SystemRoot%\system32\tscfgwmi.dll Remote desktop session host
%systemroot%\system32\signdrv.dll WMI for signed drivers
Microsoft's resolution is here:
Increase WMI Quota properties to maximum values
01/13/2014
WMI related performance issues may arise due to extensive usage of WMI components.
You can increase the value of following properties to its maximum.
Restart may be required after applying the following settings.
Run cmd.exe as admin
Type wbemtest.exe and run
Click Connect.
In the namespace text box type "root" (without quotes).
Click Connect.
Click Enum Instances…
In the Class Info dialog box enter Superclass Name as " __ProviderHostQuotaConfiguration" (without quotes) and press OK. Note: the Superclass name includes a double underscore at the front.
In the Query Result window, double-click " __ProviderHostQuotaConfiguration=@ ")
Set the following values for these properties. Don't forget to Save Property after setting each value of the property.
MemoryPerHost 1073741824 (1GB)
HandlesPerHost 8192
BUT
Giving away resources can have impacts on other things. Should I care about this warning? Why would they establish quotas and then tell us to set the quotas so high that they never activate?
Any advice out there?
