Thanks Dave.
I will follow the steps in the article to see if that improves the memory
issue. I'm not really concern with those two processes using such amount of
ram, the real issue some of the apps become unresponsive (Exchange, report
services) after a while and the only thing to do is a reboot. I've stop and
restart the services killed the process the application still remain
unresponsive.
I will try the steps in the article with your substitution to see if it make
a difference.
Thanks.

I'll give you a quick response, but please feel free to follow up with.
questions:
1. Ignore store.exe. You've got plenty of RAM and it's to your benefit
performance wise to let it do what it wants. 800 MB is probably not unusual
on a server with 4 GB - mine consistently runs around 700.
2. What SQL processes are using all that RAM? Open Task Manager and view
the processes, making sure you're displaying the PID (Process ID). Open a
cmd prompt and type "tasklist /svc" which will display what the PIDs
represent, so you can tell if it's ISA, Monitoring, or SharePoint.
3. I haven't tried to throttle back the RAM used by SharePoint, but I've
throttled ISA and Monitoring. See this KB that tells how to do it with ISA.
You can do the same for Monitoring. For every command that references
"msfw" in the ISA doc, substitute "sbsmonitoring" to throttle monitoring. I
have not been able to find authoritative recommendations for an amount of
RAM to throttle it to, but I set both ISA and Monitoring to 128 MB and have
not had any problems with either one.
You may experience high memory usage on an ISA Server 2004-based computer
that logs messages to an MSDE database
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;909636
4. If you're getting allocated memory alerts from the server, what I did
was to run it for 30 days. Then I went into monitoring on the Server Mgmt
Console and set the threshold to 110% of the 30 day average. I'm still well
under the 4 GB, and I'm not getting the alerts any more.
FWIW, I don't think this is anything to do with a virus or other problem. I
think it's "normal" functions that are configured less than optimally.

Hello,
I'm running on a SBS 2003 environment with 4gig of RAM. Lately i've had
instances where both sqlserver.exe and store.exe allocate 800Meg of ram
each
which eventually causes the box to hing. I know exchage can take a good
chunk
of memory, but is it normal for both to take up as much.
IIS occupy close to 1Gig. I think something going on I 've ran virus
scan,
spywares
nothing reported. Can anyone help.
Thanks in advance.
