Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is limit on how many wmic
requests Windows can handle simultaneously if they are originating from a Windows service? The reason I'm asking is because my application fails when too many simultaneous requests have been initiated. I don't get any data back from the application.
However, If I compile the Python application and run it as a stand alone application all will work fine.
The wmic calls are looking like this:
subprocess.Popen("wmic path Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_Memory get CommittedBytes", stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
This makes me wonder, is there a limit Windows Services and what they can perform? I mean, if the .exe
file can handle all requests, then it must be something to do with the fact that I have compiled it as a Windows service.
