Currently on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard with 32GB memory.

Once the server hits a Memory usage of around 50% (18GB, 13GB of it is for SQL Server (2008)) some strange things are happening with the XMLHTTP requests. I have tried using "Microsoft.XMLHTTP and MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP but i get the same result.

I am getting a 2 different errors all associated with the msxml3.dll file:

 Error #: -2146697211
 The system cannot locate the resource specified.

and

 Error #: -2147024888
 Not enough storage is available to process this command.

After i restart the server, everything seems to be working fine, for now at least, we’ll see when the memory usage starts increasing.

I have searched a while for a solution, and have found that nothing seems to work except for restarting the server, haven’t tried just restarting IIS, but I am wondering why this is happening all of a sudden.

    If you mean to reserve only 13GB of memory for SQL Server, you need to tell someone. Right now you’ve told SQL Server to take over the server if it wants.

    EXEC sp_configure 'show adv', 1;
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE;
GO
EXEC sp_configure 'max server memory', 13000;
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE;
GO

    Now restart SQL Server. This won’t guarantee that SQL Server won’t use more than 13 GB, since this setting only controls certain aspects of its memory usage, but it will prevent SQL Server from taking over the box.

    This is the setting I assumed you had already set what you said:

    18GB, 13GB of it is for SQL Server (2008)
