My servers are okay with the patch. 2 of them are running win2K sp4 and the 3rd is on win2003. No leaks ever, i.e. before after patch. 1 is a Dell PowerEdge (when the budgets were better), Compaq ProLiant is number 2 and the win2003 is from a homegrown outfit here in Seattle called Hardrives NorthWest. All are local servers on the networks they monitor.
Some more observations:
- The servers are dedicated wug servers with a few standalone apps like tera term or solarwinds tftp, etc. We have IIS enabled to serve some custom web pages within wug. Of course, we've disabled or uninstalled ANYTHING that doesn't need to be there.
- Myself and one other network admin are the ONLY admins that log into this box and we built the server from scratch.
- We keep up with Microsoft and Ipswitch updates with no testing in a lab environment. Simply because we can't afford it and besides there's nothing like the production environment to bring out the worst ;-).
- We do have the luxury of mirrored drives so before I do a major tweak, I break the mirror. Back out plan is to boot off of the "old" mirror if the change turns out evil.

Upgrading to 8.01 was worth it to me as I now have less memory leaks than before! I can get the WUG service to stop on demand most times however after about a week running I do need to start killing processes to get it to stop. Saying that it is still much better than 8.0!
I think that these issues only happen on Win2k with SP4. Our WUG with 8.0 was just fine on SP3. (and I think Ipswitch can confirm that this is the case)

Once again, I'll ask, what is the consensus on this upgrade? I'm still operating with version 8.0. I have no interest in doing a complete re-installation right now. I've got other fish to fry. I guess I'll have to weigh the benefits of what's in the upgrade vs the risk of failure and re-install.

Please respond to
WhatsUp_Forum
I finally loaded 8.01 (release 2003.05.21), plus the hotfix on a system. WhatsUpG.exe still has (or now has) a problem with memory. When runnig as a service everything works fine. When you stop the service and try to start as an application it hangs and the memory consumption climbs up to 20 MB. Then it stops working. When you start whithout loading any map it seems working. But after you try to open a new map it crashes.
After deinstallation and a new install it seems to work.
After one day running, it's memory usage is just over 20MB and it crashes like described.
System Specs:
Compaq Proliant 5000, PIII 200MHz, 256MB ram, running Win 2K, SP 3, Terminal Services in Admin-Mode Tested also on Compaq Proliant DL380G2 P4, 4GB RAM, running Win 2K, SP 3 Terminal Services in Admin-Mode
