If IT Assistant is installed on a device that is running Windows 2000 SP4, a known issue with the Microsoft WMI API results in a memory leak in the IT Assistant Network Monitoring Service when using the CIM protocol. The leak occurs when the remote device is passed incorrect authentication credentials during a discovery cycle or status poll.
