SBS 4.0 and Service Pack 6a

2001-08-18 Thread Bill Kuhn - MCSE
I usually don't deal with Small Business Server but I've got a customer with it and he's got Code Red. He currently has SBS4.0 with SP5 installed. I want to apply the patch which requires SP6a. I've poked around on MSDN and looked in the SP6a readme and haven't found any explicit mention of

Depending on what you're serving up from your server, I guess... For database, web, and other transactionally intensive stuff I don't really understand why you would need a swap file that big. Seems to me that you would want to add more RAM before it starts any kind of heavy swapping (and

RE: Guidelines for W2K Pro PageFile Size

The main reason to set the pagefile to a static size is so that you don't incur a performance penalty as it grows. Of course, depending on what you do, you may never even reach the 768MB number, so it might be a moot point. I prefer static. Win2K likes a larger Pagefile, and the

You are trying to detect a worm by using a virus disguised as a tool (anything by Symantec). The eeyes scan is likely reliable. The Symantec program should be very carefully and very thoroughly removed (i.e. disinfected) from your system. No - I am not a Symantec fan. -Original

I usually set the pagefile to 1.5 times ram and put it on a different disk than the OS if possible. Then monitor the machine after it is in production. If the system is paging you either need more ram, or you have an application with a memory leak. There are a lot of apps that will leak
