Performance/Stability Issue
« on: October 16, 2013, 10:47:06 PM »
I'm using the latest version of the installer and SQL Express.  I have about 2000 clients connected to the server until it crashes and it always crashes.  I've rebuilt the server using Windows 2008 instead of 2012, which did seem to net me some additional stability, but the problem remains.  Is 2000 too many clients for SQL express?  I've tried to tune SQL express by assigning additional memory but not much improvement, except I can run a report before crashing.

I'm referring to avast! Endpoint Protection Suite with Enterprise Administration Console.  I've tried different operating systems, allocating more memory to the VM, reserving memory for SQL, but each time I have performance problems that seem to cause the console to crash.  Is anyone else running 2000'ish clients on SQL express?

I've installed enterprise server on 2012 using the sql express in the installer, on 2008 r2 with sql express in the installer, on 2008 r2 with a separate install of sql express, and on 2008 R2 with a full install of 2008 SQL R2.  Each server crashes like clockwork. 

Does anyone have more than 2000 clients talking to their console?

I had the exact same problem. I abandoned that server and built a new one utilizing the full blown MS SQL 2008R2 and the stability issue went away.

I updated the avast policies in the old avast console to point the client machines to the new avast server and scheduled a reboot of the old avast server every half hour and eventually the computers got the policy and migrated over. Once the last one migrated over, I just destroyed the old VM.

I think it's SQL Express crapping out and not so much Avast.

You should only have about 1000 clients pointing towards 1 server, I recommend installing a mirror on the 2nd server and have the clients update from there.
