Exchange 2013 Search not Working (3) :NodeRunner.exe process Terminated with an "OutOfMemoryException"

  • Artikel

Background:

Microsoft Exchange Host Controller Service starts 4 worker processes, each named NodeRunner (Admin Nodes) . The Individual functionality of Each NodeRunner process is conferred by  configuration. The NodeRunner.exe  which activates single Admin node in a process of its own. NodeRunner.exe is a standalone process, it derives some of the operating properties from  NodeRunner.exe.config the application configuration file during the start of Admin Nodes.

* if you are familiar with SPS, you probably know how to Limit the Memory allocated to NodeRunner.exe Process using the application configuration file. ( Do Not implement SPS resolutions/ workaround in Exchange  server 2013).

The default setting for minimum memory requirement for NodeRunner.exe  is 0. NodeRunner process can consume and change its memory requirements dynamically based on the requirement and available memory. However, you can set the Upper limit and restrict the amount of memory that node runner can access using the parameter "memoryLimitMegabytes" in the NodeRunner.exe.config application Configuration file. ( **** Lessons from SPS...  ). If you limit the memory usage by NodeRunner.exe and if we can't allocate the memory for NodeRunner.exe  operation, we fail with an OutOfMemoryException. Check for the following events if you are experiencing this issue and for a resolution.

[ * limiting memory allocation for NodeRunner.exe in Exchange server 2013 using this method is not supported ].

Fix NodeRunner Exception issue :

Events in ULS logs and event logs indicate NodeRunners.exe are terminating with exception, because of  OutOfMemory. Either the server is outofmemory or .Net CLR is forcing memory allocation limitation to the NodeRunners.exe process. NodeRunner tried to allocate more memory and terminates with an exception .
Navigate to following location , edit the file  

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\15.0\Search\Runtime\1.0\noderunner.exe.config

Check for Key and the value   <nodeRunnerSettings memoryLimitMegabytes="0" />.

if it is set to any value than 0, change it to 0 and restart  "Microsoft Exchange Host Controller Service"
