Failed to create App Domain

Microsoft.SQLServer.2012.Failed_to_create_AppDomain_5_Rule (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

An application tried to create an application domain, but failed. This may occur when there is not enough memory to start the application domain.

Causes

This error occurs when there is not enough memory available to create a new App Domain.

Resolutions

Verify that hardware is performing correctly.

Check Windows system and application logs to identify errors related to system stress or memory.

Increase the available memory. Consider the following solutions to increase available memory:

Increase the size of the paging file.
Restart the server with the -g memory_to_reserve option to increase the amount of memory that SQL Server will leave available for memory allocations within the SQL Server process.
Add physical memory. On a 32-bit system, you can add more than 4 GB physical memory, if you use Microsoft Windows Address Windowing Extension (AWE).
Restart the computer and run again. If the problem persists, contact a product support provider.
