Re: OpenSSH: 5791 [main] sshd 9288! spawn_guts: CreateDesktop failed, Win32 error 8
I saw this problem spawn_guts: CreateDesktop failed, Win32 error 8 listed in many Google results with some suggestions but without any conclusive solutions. My 2003 Server has 16gb of RAM, and only about 10gb were in use, so the issue wasn't a lack of RAM. However, I went and quit some programs that use many USER and GDI objects (Photoshop, Illustrator, TOAD (and Parallels for good measure)) and then I was able to ssh in to my server without making any changes to cygwin configuration, and without restarting sshd or anything. - Stefan Carsten.Porzler wrote: Dear Cygwin community, unfortunately we got on some of our Windows 2003 servers this error message while logging on by using OpenSSH 5791 [main] sshd 9288! spawn_guts: CreateDesktop failed, Win32 error 8 This error message occurs after the server has been rebooted.

That's probably related to the maximum size of the system heap. Have a look into the Remarks section in the MSDN man page of CreateDesktop: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682124%28VS.85%29.aspx It explains the registry setting which can be changed to raise the system heap size. For services the third value of the SharedSection option is relevant.

This is a good hint. I didn't see this for quite some time. I can't tell you why that occurs in your case, but not generally.
