/ September 8, 2014we installed the hotfix, but we still have mem leak issues, we are split tunneling, is there anything else we should look at? We have a case open with M/S but nothing has come from it yet.
Richard Hicks
/ September 15, 2014It’s always possible that the leak could be something other than the remote access management service. Detailed investigation and troubleshooting should identify the source of the leak. I’m sure MS will locate something soon.

/ April 6, 2020Is this and issue with RRAS on server 2016 also? I’m having to reboot the RRAS servers almost every 5 days as RAM usage does seem to be release even when most users are disconnected.
Richard M. Hicks
/ April 6, 2020No. There was another issue in Windows Server 2016 having to do with high memory consumption. It was fixed in KB4534307.
