I have a Windows Server that a client is using for remote access to a particular application. Most of the time it's completely fine, but when they run certain reports, RAM utilization balloons by 700MB per report and that RAM is not released when they exit the app or when they disconnect/log off; they've been downing the server (which is also their file server/internet access) to release the RAM.
This is a 32-bit Server 2003 machine. The application vendor won't certify the app on 64-bit anything.
It's only happening in their one line of business app and it does not happen when that app is run on a standalone desktop, only via RDP.
Before I start yelling at that app's developers, has anyone run in to anything like this before?
And yes, putting stuff in a VM would probably help, but that's not the configuration they have.
