very easily:

Create a new custom field, Select Registry as the source and the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ RELEASEID". Then still choose an appropriate name, and you have a field that indicates you the ID.

being able to isolate a service's performance is a nice feature in resource monitor.... thanks for pointing it out..
Andre is correct, try capturing a WPA trace next time the problem occurs.  Put the trace file (.etl) on a shared drive and post a link back to this forum so that the trace can be analyzed.
 

BgInfo : Late to the game with bginfo

Posted: 29 December 2015 at 9:07pm

Ok hello everyone I have been playing with bginfo for years, but just that once a year playing with it randomly, but at my old employer we didn't even use GPO/AD worth a crap.  I say all that to say, I am the Desktop Admin at my current job and I do use the tools that make life easier here. 
I work at a local public library and we have both public and staff pc's that I would like to stop having to label with dymo labels and use bginfo to provide the info on screen for staff to report when creating a new help desk ticket.  "Green thinking, right?"  ;)

I have searched google and got plenty of hits that led me back to here and I have tried a few threads and even one over at technet.  Nothing works automatically and I see nothing listed in event viewer bad or good.  I am trying to do this as a startup script via GPO.

Our current basic layout is Win 2k8 r2, domain, Win 7 x64 Pro, GPO controlled.  So I have put the files for bginfo.exe and xxxx_bginfo.bgi and the script which is bgi.cmd which reads "\\xyzdepot.org\netlogon\bginfo.exe" "\\xyzdepot.org\netlogon\xxxx_BGInfo.bgi" /silent /timer:0 /nolicprompt
The wallpaper that the .bgi file references is in the same location and is referenced correctly in the config file.

If I navigate to the \\xyzdepot.org\netlogon I can manually run the bginfo.exe or .bgi file fine and it applies the modded wallpaper fine.
 
I am testing this with a god mode-domain admin account and the machine shows in gpresult /r that the gpo is applying. 

So what other info do you guys need to school me and make me feel like a noob?  :D  Plz do though, idc I just want this to work.  Thanks in advance.

Process Monitor : Handle leak Procmon

Posted: 29 December 2015 at 9:28pm

Well. I found why a reboot is necessary to work again. There is a handle leak in Procmon or System. Process Explorer finds this handle once Process Monitor is closed.

Its name: \GLOBAL??\ProcmonExternalLoggerEnabled
The process System has this handle.

This is the only handle remaining. All others are closed, but this handle is still here.

Can you confirm me it's a bug ?

I have at random times high cpu and memory usage from "system and compressed memory" windows 10 with november update. Once it starts I can only end it with a restart. It only shows me 20% cpu usage but in reality its much worse because I have an i7 and youtube videos have lags from 2 seconds to 2 seconds when that process is doing its thing. Some people say its cuz of some windows things are leaking memory, ive tried a lot of fixes, latest one is disabling prefetch and superfetch (I have an ssd, I heard those are not really needed).

The cpu usage comes from dxgmms2.sys!VIDMM_WORKER_THREAD::Run

I see you use a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti  on a laptop (via eGPU adapter?). maybe this doesn't work well.

For youtube videos the integrated Intel HD GPU should be enough. So only use the nVIDIA if you play games.

It's not a laptop, its a dekstop with a laptop processor and ram. My motherboard:

http://www.jetwaycomputer.com/NF9G.html
 
I have this setup for half a year and it worked perfectly up to the windows novermber update, maybe some drivers also updated, im just not sure what's happening as it's not all the time, for example since i started the pc today it worked well for like 3 hours and all of a sudden its happening again, yesterday it took about 1 hour for it to become under load like that, sometimes it takes longer, sometimes less, its pretty random.


Edit: I *think* I have discovered that when the problem surfaces and i close chrome with all my tabs and then reopen it it the problem dissapears, if this info helps.

Process Monitor : How to get ProcMon to run remotely?

Subject: How to get ProcMon to run remotely?
Posted: 30 December 2015 at 9:04pm

The only step-by-step advice I can see is this:

http://forum.sysinternals.com/running-process-monitor-remotely_topic23916.html

which I do not understand, I'm afraid (I get lost at no.3 - I can't just enter what is written there into the command prompt!).

As this is not really 'my area of expertise' (networking), I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to post a step-by-step guide, more in a 'ProcMon for Dummies' style, saying exactly what I need to do on the host and remote PCs. I want to use a networked PC to monitor files that are being loaded up on the host.

I have spent so much time Googling this and getting frustrated at my lack of progress, so I hope someone will take pity on me and spell it out in plain English!

Many thanks in advance.

Process Explorer : P.E. crashes - server with 2900 processes

Author: j.pugh
Subject: P.E. crashes - server with 2900 processes
Posted: 30 December 2015 at 10:03pm

I've been running into an issue lately with several of my servers that have 2500-3000 running processes on them.  The same type of server (Windows 2008 R2, fully patched, PE 16.5) running the same processes but a lower number of them (1500) is not having an issue.
Based on what I can see of memory usage, the crashing procexp64.exe loads to just over 72,000K of Memory Utilization before crashing on all the servers that are having this issue.  It never reaches that value on the servers that work.

I'm working on getting a good ProcMon output during the PE startup, but wanted to put this on the forum in the interim.

Is there a limit to the amount of memory the procexp64.exe will utilize before crashing?

Seems odd that there would be but this is one of the only differences I've been able to find between the servers that work and those that don't.

Thanks for taking a look.

Development : trouble generating xml

Subject: trouble generating xml
Posted: 31 December 2015 at 2:59pm

I'm trying to generate xml based upon an xsd.  I have a class defined which describes the elements for the object and I will serialize.  I am not sure what I'm doing wrong.  I've done this before, but not with this particular xsd and with this object.

a section of what it's supposed to look like is:

<FracFocus3_0 xmlns=”FracFocus3_0.xsd”>

      <FractureJob>

              <JobStartDate>2015-02-01T00:00:00</JobStartDate>

              <JobEndDate>2015-02-02T00:00:00</JobEndDate>

              <OperatorNumber>A1210004</OperatorNumber>

              <APINumber>01007212500000</APINumber>

              <WellName>ExampleWell</WellName>

<SurfLongitude>-87.09730002</SurfLongitude>

<SurfLatitude>33.1352902</SurfLatitude>

<Datum>NAD27</Datum>

<FederalWell>1</FederalWell>

      <TVD>2319</TVD>

<TotalBaseWaterVolume>315210</TotalBaseWaterVolume>

<TotalBaseNonWaterVolume>0</TotalBaseNonWaterVolume>

<EntryMethod>MSDS+</EntryMethod>

              <Purpose>

                     <TradeName>Water</TradeName>

                     <Supplier>Operator</Supplier>

                     <Purpose>Carrier/BaseFluid</Purpose>

                    <TypeIngredient>

                             <IngredientMSDS>

                                    <IngredientName>Water</IngredientName>

                                    <CASNumber>7732-18-5</CASNumber>

                                   <PercentHighAdditive>100.0</PercentHighAdditive>

                                   <PercentHFJob>90.220</PercentHFJob>

                             </IngredientMSDS>

                     </TypeIngredient>

              </Purpose>

      </FractureJob>

</FracFocus3_0>

I see this and I’m trying to build an object that Ican serialize into xml that will be like what is above.

When I look at TypeIngredient, I can build that as far asthe IngredientName, CASNumber, etc.  However, I don’t know how to get itto tag IngredientMSDS or IngredientOther.

 

                   objChpurp.TypeIngredient = new XmlHandler30.DataObjects.ChemPurposeTypeIngredient3_0();

                   objChpurp.TypeIngredient.Items = new XmlHandler30.DataObjects.Ingredient3_0[ewiQ.Count()];

 

I want to set objChpurp.ItemsElementName?  Is thatcorrect?

What do I do, so that when serialized, the xml will containIngredientOther ?

 

In the FracFocus3_0.cs, here’s a snippet that shows how theIngredients items array is definied:

 

       [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("IngredientMSDS", typeof(Ingredient3_0))]

       [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("IngredientOther", typeof(Ingredient3_0))]

       [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlChoiceIdentifierAttribute("ItemsElementName")]

       public Ingredient3_0[] Items

       {

           get

           {

               return this.itemsField;

           }

           set

           {

               this.itemsField = value;

           }

       }

somehow, I need to denote in the object that it needs the xmlelement attribute of IngredientMSDS or else IngredientOther.  But I don't understand how to do this.

working set?  virtual?   private bytes?  ... which memory?
 
would also suggest eventually using procdump to capture a crash dump when process explorer crashes.  You can email that dump file to Mark for analysis.
 
I seem to recall in another post there was mention of a memory leak on a prior version of PE.  But I do not recall that particular leak causing PE to crash.  Unfortunately, I cannot immediately find that forum post to reference.

Hey, just curious if you made any strides in solving this issue.  I am having the same problem, but I'm using 4.21.

What I found interesting is using the SYSTEM account, I can run it ONLOGON, but if I run it on interval, let's say every 5 minutes, the process runs, but the desktop does not update.

I did that yesterday and so far so good. It would seem that it worked, at least up to this point, more testing is needed to be 100% sure but thx a lot for the help!
