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... $$ ~Internal registry key is NULL for thread SMS_DESPOOLER $$



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.
