I have a Windows 2000 Server box that keeps filling up the system log with
the error: Server was unable to allocate a work item 2 times in the last 60
seconds. It writes this event about every minute and a half all day and all
night long even when noone is on the system. I have done a little research
and found a KB article that talks about upping the sytem pages but my setting
was already higher than what is suggested. Is this message cause for
concern? If so what can I do to fix it?

Thanks

Please copy and paste the content complete content of the particular
event here. Just the event in question, not the whole log. If you
double on the error then click on the little icon that looks like two
pages of paper it will copy the error message and you can then paste it
to your reply, once pasted it should something like this example:


Event Type: Information
Event Source: EventLog
Event Category: None
Event ID: 6005
Date: 18/09/2007
Time: 9:04:56 AM
User: N/A
Computer: SomeComputerName
Description:
The Event log service was started.

Re: Systen log filling up with this error every minute?

Here is the error:
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Srv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 2021
Date: 10/2/2007
Time: 1:53:42 PM
User: N/A
Computer: SERVER1
Description:
The server was unable to allocate a work item 1 times in the last 60 seconds.
Data:
0000: 00 00 00 00 03 00 48 00 ......H.
0008: 00 00 00 00 e5 07 00 80 ....å..€
0010: 00 00 00 00 9a 00 00 c0 ....š..À
0018: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........
0020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........


This is popping up in the System log about every minute or two.

I'm not sure how to fix it. Any ideas would be great.

Thanks

Re: Systen log filling up with this error every minute?

Other than the earlier suggestion from Adrian all I can suggest is this:

How to troubleshoot Event ID 2021 and Event ID 2022
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317249

or that you do additional searching on Microsoft's site, something in
here may help:
