RE: Exchange Server Memory Limiter
Sounds like you don't have enough RAM in your server to start with, but try running Exchange Optimizer (sic). Phil - Phil Randal Network Engineer Herefordshire Council Hereford, UK -Original Message- From: Robert Jackson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 11 September 2001 09:50 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Exchange Server Memory Limiter Hi All, It has been mentioned that you can limit the amount of RAM that Exchange Server 5.5 uses. Is this correct? If so what configuration changes do I need to make? My main problem is that the STORE.EXE process currently running on my email server is using 75Mb of RAM and I think this is partly to blame for the server grinding to a halt. My server is running NT 4.0 SP6 with Exchange Server 5.5 SP3. Any help would be most welcome.

RE: Exchange Server Memory Limiter
The Optimizer allows you to limit the amount of memory used by Exchange. How much RAM does the server have if 75Mb for STORE.EXE might be a problem? Our STORE.EXE is currently using c. 170Mb - of 512Mb, and supports 350 users fine. (Exchange 5.5 SP4 on NT4.0 SP6a) A while back we found limiting the amount of memory used made no positive difference to memory problems we were experiencing - if anything the effect was adverse - so we reverted back to letting Exchange look after itself. In the end we found the culprit wasn't in fact Exchange at all, but the memory leak of a much smaller program (Track-It! Receive: monitors a mailbox to pull all work requests into our job-tracking system - it now runs on another server!).

RE: Exchange Server Memory Limiter
Get more ram as 75MB is pretty low for store usage. I guess your server only has 128MB, bump it up to 256MB or even better 512MB.
