Too much memory. Seriously. If you want to run 4gb of memory of W2K Standard running Exchange, you need to be running Advanced server, not Standard.
The problem is that your virtual memory is getting fragmented (duh!). http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=266096 tells you that you should be running the /3gb switch with more than 1gb of memory, but alas, you cannot (or at least should not) use that switch on W2K Standard. http://blogs.msdn.com/mfp2 has several posts about 9582 errors by Michael Palermiti, who works for Microsoft and it also details several changes that you can make to your server (mostly registry changes) that can help if you are dead set against removing memory. BTW - no one from PSS or Microsoft will "officially" tell you to remove memory without extensive troubleshooting, but if you take your memory down to 2gb or less, odds are this problem will go away. Here are some other articles that you can read about 9582 errors and solutions. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;317411 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;315407 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=266768 Ben Winzenz Microsoft Exchange MVP Network Engineer Gardner & White Ph (317) 843-3418 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of wade robinson Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 9:35 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: fragmented virtual memory warning I have an Exchange server that continues to receive the error message seen below. I reboot have restarted the services / rebooted the server and the error continues to show up shortly after the corrective action take place. The server is a Dell 2650 with 4 GB of memory running Windows standard SP 3 and Exchange 2000 SP3. Any ideas what could be causing this warning?
