Hi Doug,

Thansk for your reply.

I understand that a roob of the server will temporary resovle this issue for days. However, have you tried to restart
the Microsoft Exchange System Attendant service? What's the result?

In addition, I suggest you to install the Exchange SP1 on your server. If you install Exchange SP1, there are a couple
of tweaks needed to make Exchange 2K3 SP1 work on SBS 2K3:

1. By default, after running CEICW, the component will set the Default Domain property on the corresponding IIS
sub-directories (under Authentication -> Access Control) as following:

/Exchange/: \
/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync/: SBS domain name
/OMA/: SBS domain name

However, Exchange 2003 SP1 replaces the OWA logon screen (Program Files\Exchsrvr\bin\auth\usa\logon.asp) and it
caused OWA now to ask for domain\username instead of simply just the username. To fix this problem before SBS
SP1 comes out, you can edit the SP1 logon.asp or (which is recommended) just add the domain name in the Exchange
virtual directory, Directory Security, Authentication and access control, Default Domain.

The same goes to the OWA and Server-ActiveSync sub-sites, we can just set the "SBS domain name" back. This is
considering the fact that some PPC or mobile phone cannot use the reverse backslash character when inputting
credential.

2. After installing Exchange 2003 SP1 to SBS server, you may notice that store.exe is consuming more memory than
before. It also occurs on normal Exchange 2K3 server, the only difference is that SBS has the monitoring component
which will send out e-mail notification once the threshold is reached.

This issue occurs no matter the amount of the memory is below or above 1 GB. In addition, many of the partners has
also implemented the suggestions in the following KB, it makes things better but the store memory usage is still higher
than SP1 was applied:

815372 How to Optimize Memory Usage in Exchange Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=815372

Prior to SP1, the database cache bytes are counted as mapped bytes. In SP1, the database cache is counted under
private bytes. Thus, the private bytes will be considerably higher (about 940 MB higher) for SP1 than before, and
mapped bytes will be correspondingly lower. If people are using private bytes as the measure of memory, then yes, it
changed dramatically between Ti and Ti SP1. Working set and Virtual Bytes should be mostly unaffected.

Since SBS Monitoring is counting the Private Bytes, it will be 940MB higher than before. This won't impact the
server's normal operation.

Workaround is to add 1000 or above to the counter so that you will not receive the warning that frequently.

Please check this link for more detailed information:

867628 Monitoring programs report that the Store.exe process consumes
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=867628.

Hope this helps.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or if you need further assistance.

| Hi Eric,
|
| Thanks for taking the time to reply!
|
| I had previously tried the rebuild on both recipient update services to no
| avail. Also, I could not find a KB entry of 822794, but I did open the
| properties of my server and click on the diagnostics tab and browsed all the
| entries to see that all were set to "none".
|
| I just gave up and rebooted the server and things are back to normal for
| now. I have had this happen to me before, and a reboot seems to snap it
| back to reality at least for a few days.
