    Adding the registry

    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
    - DWORD MaxUserPort, with value 50000 (decimal)

    - DWORD TcpTimedWaitDelay, with value 30 (decimal)

    would not help

    Upgrade SEP and see if that helps.

    Or Take a Proc Dump or AD Plus Dump for the process and PM me.

    thank you, for the reply. 

    We had this issue only where servers is acting as GUP.  Once we stop SMC and start . All servises back to normal.

    I would imagine they'll recommend upgrade to RU3 MP3 or higher...

    some memory leaks issue were detected prior to these release

     

    what OS your GUPs mainly are?

    To resolve this issue, increase the value of the IRPStackSize registry entry. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
    2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
      If the IRPStackSize entry is not present in this subkey, follow these steps:
      1. Click Edit, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
      2. Type IRPStackSize, and then press ENTER.

        NoteType IRPStackSizeexactly as it appears. The value name is case sensitive.
    3. Click IRPStackSize, click Edit, and then click Modify.
    4. In the Data Value box, type a larger value, and then click OK.

      Note Values may range from 0x1 to 0xC. These values are equivalent to 1 to 12 in decimal notation.

    If the problem persists after you complete the previous procedure, increase the value of IRPStackSize more.
