Re: store.exe memory usage

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have one user with Entourage, rest of the Mac users seem to be usng
mail.app (IMAP). Then I do have some iPhone users and then of course the
blackberry ones. Anyway like I said, this seems to be holding well so far
with the KB329067 fix.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot for all your replies. So I guess I don't need that hotfix
then.

Something has been causing unusually high disk I/O on the exchange server
over the last few weeks. Though not at an optimal config now (it's on an
all
in one RAID 5, C partition now and nothng else) it was okay until
recently.
Recent increase in Mac clients prompted me to do the steps in KB329067. A
restart following that seems to have helped a bit, though not sure yet.

Still watching...

Thanks.

Sounds right. In Exchange 2003 with more than 1GB of RAM and the /3GB
switch in the boot.ini, the store process will allocate 896MB for DB
cache.
At to that log buffers, version table, and other in memory structures and
you got just a bit over a gig used by store.exe. You're simply watching
the
DB cache populate; that's a good thing.

usage and optimizing memory in Exchange 2003.;

hi, I have an exchange 2003 SP2 enterprise edition. I have about 75
users.
The system has 2 GB RAM, and boot.ini has the /3GB switch etc.
Following a
restart here is what I observe about store.exe's memory usage (task
manager -
processes)

memory usage immediately after the restart - 110K

15 minutes later - 165K

2 hours later - 616K

5 hours later - 690K

12 hours later - just above 1 GB.

I have noticed that it doesn't keep on growing like this. There are
times
during the day when it drops down a bit, I have seen it coming down to
around
800K. My question is, is this steady increase in store.exe's memory
usage
normal following a restart? Or more importantly, do I need to apply the
hotfix as per KB953251? As per this article, i monitored the VM Total
Large
Free Block Bytes counter but that is holding steady and not decreasing.

Please note that the restart was done after business hours, so you
could
say
the user strength would have dropped down to about 70%. But there are
mobile
users (iPhone etc) connected all the time.

All this came to my attention when troubleshooting a recent spike in
the
disk activity on the exchange server.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

If you are using Entourage, there will be many items getting moved into the
streaming content DB, since it is a non-MAPI client.
