Assume that you use Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to monitor events in Microsoft SQL Server. In this situation, a memory leak occurs in SQLWEP. This causes the Wmiprvse.exe process to crash with a 'WBEM_E_OUT_OF_MEMORY' error. Additionally, error messages that resemble the following are logged in the SQL Server error log:
Error: 17003 - Closed event notification conversation endpoint with handle '{7BC24B36-B24C-E611-944D-0050569F4BF2}', due to the following error: '<?xml version="1.0"?><Error xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQL/ServiceBroker/Error"><Code>-8470</Code><Description>Remote service has been dropped.</Description></Error>'.
