Re: exchange fragmentation issue.

Ok. Thanks..

So, I just changed HeapDecommitFreeBlockThreshold back to 0

here is my boot.ini:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Server"
/fastdetect

Did you want me to remove the pagefile on E?
Should I set the max and min to 3084 on C only?
(btw. general tab of system proprties says I have 3,145,072Kb Ram.)
Do I really have to reboot the server once without a pagefile, then set one?
Couldn't I just change it and reboot?

Thanks so so much!

Cris, it's SBS2000.

Windows 2000 can use a max of 4095MB per PF but can use multiple PF's
exceeding this value. Joe's page file on C: should be 3GB+~12MB to allow a
dump.

Joe, do you have the /3GB switch in boot.ini, if so, remove it, it is not
to be used on a DC.

On an unmodified SBS2000 the HeapDecommitFreeBlockThreshold is 0. I am not
aware of any reason this should be changed on SBS2000. Joe, you seem to be
implementing 'general' Exchange fixes to SBS, this is not recommended.
Exchange on SBS has been 'tuned' by SBS Dev to compensate for the fact
that SBS disregards several MS 'best practices'.

well apparently some things when SP1 came out that I missed
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/237740/en-us

However, you can create a single page file that is more than 4,095 MB on a
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1)-based computer.

Notes To create a larger page file, you must load the Physical Address
Extension (PAE) kernel. In Windows Server 2003, PAE is automatically
enabled when the server is using Hot Add Memory devices. Alternatively,
you can force the PAE kernel by adding the /PAE switch in the Boot.ini
file.

but doesn't /PAE cause its own issues in SBS??

Delete them both, (set to no paging file)
Reboot
The max usuable pagefile in a standard windows server is 4GB...no matter
how
you split it.
