Re: SBS2k and 4gigs of memory = Exchange errors??

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Thanks very much for the feed back.

But, I looked at that eventid.net entry. It has too much detail that doesn't seem to apply to this situation. In particular the problem only arises when adding more memory.

Has anyone else had any similar experiences when adding more memory?

Is it ok to run sbs2k with 4 gigs of memory or is there a lesser recommendation?



Thanks,
Joe

Are you running ES SP3 (lots of fixes in it).

Have a look here:

Lots of guff under Details in both.

Hi all,
I've got an sbs2k server that we are using as an email server as
well. Recently we installed more RAM to bring the total to 4 gigs. Since
doing this we began to receive these errors on an hourly basis:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSExchangeIS
Event Category: Performance
Event ID: 9582
Date: 11/3/2008
Time: 10:47:54 PM
User: N/A
Computer: SERVER
Description:
The virtual memory necessary to run your Exchange server is fragmented in
such a way that normal operation may begin to fail. It is highly recommended
that you restart all Exchange services to correct this issue.


After several days the email service doesn't respond until we reboot
the server. I recently removed 2 of the 4 gigs of memory to bring it back
down to 2 gigs total and the problem went away.

I would like to continue using the 4 gigs, but I would like to avoid
having errors and reboots. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

sbs2k w/sp1, win2k sp4, exchange sp4

We don't have a lot of storage space left on the c: partition so I
would like to not have to update any SP's.

Your help if much appreciated.

Thanks a billion,
Joe.
