2 Critical Alerts since I added more RAM

Hi there

Since increasing the RAM from 1GB to 4GB in my SBS2003 SP1 Premium box
(which has 5 mailboxes on it. I have been getting the following critical
alerts every day

I have tried setting the 3GB switch but to no avail.

Should I be concerned by these alerts or should I just raise the
thresholds to stop getting them.

Kind Regards



Issue




Allocated Memory
A large amount of memory is committed to applications and processes.
Consistently high memory usage can cause performance problems.

To determine which processes and applications are using the most
memory, use Task Manager. Monitor the activity of these resources over a few
days. If they continue to use a high level of memory and are less critical
processes or services, try stopping and then restarting them.

You can disable this alert or change its threshold by using the Change
Alert Notifications task in the Server Management Monitoring and Reporting
taskpad.


Issue
Process (store.exe)
The store.exe process is allocating more memory than usual.

Check to see if you are having problems with e-mail. If so, stop and
then restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service.

You can disable this alert or change its threshold by using the Change
Alert Notifications task in the Server Management Monitoring and Reporting
taskpad"
