SYMPTOMS
When you create a large number of FrontPage Webs on a computer running Internet Information Server (IIS) 2.0 or IIS 3.0, Inetinfo.exe uses all of the server's RAM.

Note: The number of Webs will vary, based on the size of each web and the amount of RAM on the server.



CAUSE
Every time a new Web is created in FrontPage, a call to the function InetInfoSetAdminInformation from Infoadmn.dll is made, causing some memory to be consumed. With each new Web, more calls to the function are made, increasing the memory consumption until you run out.



RESOLUTION
Upgrade to IIS version 4.0 or later.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
Memory usage increases with each new Web that is created. The size of the increase in memory is proportional to the number of Webs present. You will eventually run out of Virtual Memory and the computer will stop responding. You can restart the IIS computer when the memory runs low (as a temporary fix); however, this will not prevent the problem from happening again.
