* If you have set up WMI discovery and enter incorrect credentials,
the memory consumed by the IT Assistant services keeps increasing.
After running for a few days, this could cause IT Assistant
services to crash due to insufficient memory. This has been traced
to memory leaks in the underlying COM libraries.
Affected operating system:
Windows 2000 SP4
