Restart Service to avoid Process Handle Leaks

Hi Readers,

Just sharing a script that We have written to cater a situation that we are facing with ccmexec.exe process.

We are facing event id 5719 on our servers , servers loss connection to Domain, shares & other network related things.

Rebooting was solving the issue but working with MS we have found that there is some bug in ccmexec.exe & as a result of that its

handles get increase beyound control which causes this issue.

Download the zip file from below link & change the variables accordingly.
