No this is a win2K (no a/d) member server purely for Exchange. 5.5 enterprise edition sp4. Mailstore is just over 14 gig (private) and 3 gig (public) Do you reckon I should add the extra RAM? Thanks Dom.

I have a similarly configured machine supporting over 1000 Win2k users, runs like a champ. I have a mirror & two RAID5's though, and an extra gig of RAM. When you say "do it all" I hope you don't mean file/print serving, DNS, DHCP, etc. > -----Original Message----- > From: Olds, Dominic [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Posted At: Thursday, December 20, 2001 12:18 PM > Posted To: MSExchange Mailing List > Conversation: Server memory? > Subject: Server memory? > > > Does anyone have an idea of miminum memory requirements for > exchange servers > based on number of mailboxes etc?
