EVENT ID 2019 ANSWER FINALLY!

Event ID: 2019

The server was unable to allocate from the system nonpaged pool because
the pool was empty.

I finally found out what was eating up the nonpaged pool. My server
was rebooting randomly for weeks. Then more often with a brand new
server to which I transferred all the data.

I tried poolmon.exe and perfmon to try to figure it out. But what did
it was actually being at the server when it randomly began to get hosed
up. In the Processes Tab of Task Manager, add the Non Paged Pool
column. Monitor what is using up the non paged pool. It may take hours
before anything turns up. Most processes use less than 100 K of non
paged pool. In this case, the crypserve.exe (installed with MatchCAD
with the license service software) began using up over 200 megs of non
paged pool.

The network connection dropped. The shares could no longer be
accessed. On the server, I could not view the shares in Computer
Management. I received an RPC error. I saw that crypserve.exe was
using up over 200 megs of the non paged pool. I killed the process and
the server began working normally again. The crypserve.exe was running
as a service. I stopped and disabled the service.

I hope this helps. I see hundreds of people looking for a solution to
this issue.

Greg

Thanks!
