Using Poolmon
I've got a Server 2003 box (a Citrix server) with high paged pool usage (75%+). I understand that I can use poolmon to find the executable (or driver) that's using all that memory, but I don't know how to take the output of poolmon and turn that into an
action I can take to resolve the issue.
How do I convert tag, type, allocs, frees, diff, bytes, and alloc into something I can stop/kill/upgrade/uninstall to improve performance?
Thanks.

I would use process monitor on my side. Check for the page fault, it sometime indicate a program that badly free up the memory.
Else check How to use Memory Pool Monitor (Poolmon.exe) to troubleshoot kernel mode memory leaks
