Undefine ENS Memory Problem

[rboynton]

I just installed WG on our XP SP1 Proxy PC. I got a system message:

Object: ENS
Time: 29-Jun-2007 11:57:25
Message ID: 0705
Description: Undefined ENS memory problem - possible cause: memory exhaustion. Statistics: Kernel mem: 0, Frag mem: 0

Is this something to be concerned about? The box has 1.2g of RAM. Total RAM in use at this time is only 130 megs.

What version of Wingate did you install?

6.2.1 build 1133

Was your Wingate system under high load? There are certain things that can be done to prevent this message from popping up - you can increase the number of network buffers (try 1024 or 2048), also make sure that packets scavenging is turned on - both actions can be done through WGOptions applet.

There were a couple of people active when I put the system up. We also have an internal mail server that went active at the same time. I would not call that a heavy load, but I'm sure there was some activity. The biggest glitch I saw right off the start was when I chose to use the active directory user authentication. For some reason, I started seeing messages showing that the guest athentication was failing. I went to user and saw that the guest account was not enabled. I would enable it, then it would uncheck itself again shortly thereafter. The only way I could fix that was to dump Active Directory accounts and simply use the basic local PC account list (thus making everyone a guest) and not being able to control user access. that worked, but not really the way I want. That was the only thing that was happening at the time of the errors.

Hi

that error with synching user accounts normally happens if the WinGate service is just running in the LocalSystem account, rather than a domain admin account.

could you check in the control panel, administrative tools, services, WinGate, and ensure that the WinGate service is configured to use a domain account.
