Hi Leif, Yes, we have many Windows services running with the tanukisoft wrapper. It is physical server with a 2 Xeon E5 CPU’s and 128GB of ram. So it should be able to handle a high load, but if it is enough I do not know. We are not aware of any device connected to this server. I checked the Event Log and I cannot see any warnings errors related to this.

Although 100 is impressive. Are these all with the Wrapper? There are however some system resource limits, but they are quite large. Number of file handles, etc. This is the same issue that you talked with Alexandre about last week? I had done some looking around last week and found the following: The AllocConsole is not documented to result in the ERROR_GEN_FAILURE error (#31=0x1f). But the AttachConsole will throw this error if the process it is to attach to does not exist. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms681944%28v=vs.85%29.aspx I would imagine that AllocConsole could internally call AttachConsole to attache it after it is created. But that is a guess. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms681952%28v=vs.85%29.aspx We have not yet found anything really useful on this however. The text of the system message seems a little misleading. Is this a physical server or a virtual machine? Is it possible that there is a device connected to the system that is missbehaving? Have you checked the Event Log to see if there are any warnings or errors?

The values in the registry for a non interactive desktop is 768: SharedSection=1024,20480,768 and as far as I can read there should be no upper limit in the total memory that can be used (48 MB in the old days). I still experience this issue when I start the services from time to time and the error is still the same. wrapper | 2015/03/24 11:22:04 | Allocating a console for the service.

We are installing the services in the right way and we run them as Window services. This issue occurs only on 1 server "Windows Server 2012 Standard". We have many services on this server running as services (about 100). Sometimes that error prevents us to be able to start a service. Then if I stop another service then I am able to start it. It is like we have reached a maximum number of services? I thought about that maybe we were running out of ports, but when we have this case we can detect this from the wrapper log. Davide Hi Davide, I'm sorry for the trouble. I don't recommend to use the "-s" parameter to start the Wrapper as a service. In fact, if you execute "wrapper.exe -s..." you should see this message: The -s and --service commands should only be called by the Windows ServiceManager to control the Wrapper as a service, and is not designed to be run manually by the user. Instead you can use the batch files that we specially created for that. They are located in %WRAPPER_HOME%\src\bin. Please have a look at this page: http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.com/doc/english/launch-win.html Basically, you should: - copy the batch files where wrapper.exe is - rename the batch files - install the service using the batch file - start the service using the batch file I hope this will help you.
