MMC stops working when running queries in large environment

Few months back my patching team comaplins that during patch cycle the MMC get hanged and become unresponsive. During patch cycle thousands of computers needs to be quried to put in a collection. This usually happens in large SCCM environment. Here is the resolution.

Go to the adminUI.log and find the ErrorCode = 2152205056

if this is the error then fillow the below steps -

1. Run WBEMTest and connect to Root.

2. Click 'Open Instance', enter __ProviderHostQuotaConfiguration=@ and click OK.

3. Locate the MemoryPerHost property and double click it to bring up the editor.

4. Change the value to 536870912 and click Save Property. [Note: 536870912 is 512MB written in Bytes.
5. Locate the HandlesPerHost property, note the current value, set it to 8192 and click Save Property.

6. Click Save Object, exit WBEMTest and reboot the site server and test again.

Note : Make sure that you have saved the curren value some where.
