RE: Process Store.exe Alert Stuck?

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



Hi Jeff,

Thanks for posting in this newsgroup.

According to your description, I understand that you receive a lot of
store.exe alerts every day. If I am off base, please let me know.

Before we go any further, could you please let me know when did this
problem begin to occur? Is Exchange server 2003 SP1 installed on the SBS
server? Can I assume that after you applied the Exchange 2003 SP1, you
start to receive the alerts, if so it might be an expected behavior?

Generally speaking, after you install Microsoft Exchange Server 2003
Service Pack 1 (SP1), a performance monitoring program that you run may
generate an alert or a report to indicate that the Store.exe process uses
much more memory than it did before you installed SP1. Typically, the
monitoring program reports that the Store.exe process uses more "private
bytes" memory than it used before you installed SP1. It is an expected
error after apply the Exchange SP1, it is not necessary to reinstall the
monitoring components, if you want to eliminate the error, you can modify
your performance monitoring program to increase the private bytes memory
threshold for the store.exe process, you can refer to the following KB
article for more detailed steps:

issue in SBS 2k3 system.

As your convenience, I would like to give you some KB articles related to
the store.exe:
