Things tend to go smoother that way. Then when you are done, you can either manually restart those services or reboot. I usually just reboot. Then run the Exchange Optimizer and you are done!

William -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Sebastian, Didy Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 2:49 AM To: Exchange Discussions Importance: High All, I recently moved my exchange server over to new hardware which had the following specs: NT4 Server with service pack 5 Exchange 5.5 with service pack 3 I decided to upgrade the service packs to NT4 SP6 and exchange sp 4. SP6 installed no problem, but when I tried installing SP4, it basically failed although certain files were upgraded and changed. At this point I tried installing the Groupshield software, but that failed. In the end I reinstalled SP3 for exchange and successfully installed Groupshield. Ever since then I have noticed that the memory usage on the store has been creeping up. I also noticed that the store.exe is from my SP4 exchange. I know there is a hotfix for the store in SP4. I imagine that my exchange server is now a mixture of SP3 and SP4. I would appreciate your views on whether I should take the STORE.EXE and the EMSMDB32.DLL from the SP3 and replace it on my exchange server. I hope this would fix my initial problem with the memory leak on the STORE. I can then try and figure out why the SP4 did not work out.
