only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed error on 3 servers.
I have 3 servers (DC, Exchange,
App Server) all running Windows2k3 Standard. I have about 50 systems
running WinXP SP2. Just last week I went to install the client for an
application when the client executable file came up with the generic
executable icon (the blue/white one) and when I tried to run the
application it popped back the error, "only part of a
ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed".
Troubleshooting done so far:
1. tested on various machines- approximately 10. Through network
mapped drives the error occurs
2. tested via remote desktop to each server and error occurs
3. tested on the actual server itself (each of them) and the error
occurs)
4. Shut down and restarted each server (naturally in the appropriate
order)
5. Shut down and restarted each switch and the router
6. No errors in network connectivity and no excessive traffic on the
network
7. No event viewer output from attempting to run these applications,
it seems there is no dump to the event viewer to give me some kind of
idea.
8. If I copy the file directly to a local machine it is broken still
(outputs same error locally) but if I copy a working .exe to the
server it works properly
9. Problem executables are all executables- examples are: Client for
accounting application (sage mas 200), CRM Software client install
(sage saleslogix), Time clock software (gneil), fonts (exe unpacker
to
the font directory), and adobe reader. It doesn't discriminate.
10. Aug 17th backup contains good files. Aug 24th backup doesn't
therefore I have pinpointed a time period when the files went 'sour'
11. Event viewer has only one error between that time period: DNSApi
Error ID 11158 which appears to have no bearing.
The MSKB has offered me nothing,
Google has offered me nothing, and usenet has now delivered nothing.
I
cannot fathom that this situation calls for reinstalling THREE
servers and applications/items on ALL three servers in order to fix
the problem. I have no clue now and beg the community for
help. The main thing that scares me is some applications have been
affected by the problem- I've been able to fix it by restoring the
executables from backup but what about a windows dependent executable?
I am afraid to reboot my servers if they need it.
FWIW: Doing searches on this regarding CDROMS and optical drives
showed that putting the controller mode to PIO fixed the issue. I
have
scsi drives (RAID5 config) here and don't think that's truly an
option.
I appreciate any replies in advance. I'm just at a loss here. I never
have the easy problems- just crazy ones like this.
Sincerely,
Christine

I hope this helps. As for number 8 here's how it
