The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition
SYMPTOMSIn Microsoft Windows Server 2003, the Performance tool (Perfmon) does not
accurately show the available Free System Page Table entries
(FreeSysPTEs).
Because of memory manager changes, the method of calculating FreeSysPTEs in Windows Server 2003
is not accurate. Perfmon will always show a much
lower number than the value of 10+ kilobytes (K) that is typical. For computers that are running Windows Server 2003
without Service Pack 1 (SP1), the correct value for FreeSysPTEs can be obtain by
using the !vm 1 command and checking the value that is displayed for "Free System PTEs" in kernel
debugger or in the LiveKd tool from Sysinternals.RESOLUTIONService pack information
