Re: Alocated Memory Error (SQLSERVR)

I've had this issue on one site which runs SBS 2003 Premium with SQL Server
2000 SP4, but ISA is not installed. The memory problem on my client's
server (2Gb RAM) seems to be due to the SQLAgent$SBSMonitoring and
MSSQL$SBSMonitoring instances. The gradual grabbing of RAM by these
instances is excessive and not related to the Alerts configuration. It seems
to be coming more and more prevalent, at least judging by NG posts. Changing
the SQL Enterprise Manager memory settings does not work. Susan Bradley
posted what I hope is a fix, will be onsite to test it today.

Thanks to Daryl Maunder of the Melbourne SBSUG for advising me of this link.
Dave, you might like to comment further?

I'll give you the short answer and please feel free to post back if you
have questions.
- See http://blogs.technet.com/sbs/archive/2006/06/07/433707.aspx. If you
think the alert is misconfigured, fix that and give it a while to see what
happens (ignore the part about this happening when adding ram since the
same guidelines apply anyway). If you're not familiar with this site, I
recommend bookmarking it for future reference - these are the top SBS
gurus at MS support.
- If the above isn't your answer, open Task Manager and view the
Processes, with the PID column showing. Get the PID for the SQL instance
in question. Open a command prompt and type "tasklist /svc" without the
quotes. Find that PID and note which instance of SQL is the culprit (for
example, SBSMONITORING, MSFW).
- You can throttle the instance to use less RAM following the procedure in
the following KB. If the instance whose ram usage you want to throttle
back is not MSFW, substitute the correct instance name in place of MSFW
when following the steps. Use a memory threshold you consider to be
practical - I've used 128 MB for MSFW and monitoring. SharePoint and WSUS
haven't used an unusual amount of RAM so I've left those in their default
configurations. Please carefully note any changes you make in case of
unintended results.
You may experience high memory usage on an ISA Server 2004-based computer

I have a fully patched SBS 2003 installation that has a problem with
SQLSERVR demanding more memory the longer the system stays active. When I
reboot it start out normally (like other SBS 2003 servers I help support)
but over time it grows to 900mb of total system memory and critical errors
are reported to me about the same.
I don't use exchange server (we use pop mail provided by our ISP and
which is collected by outlook directly - not using pop-connector or
shared exchange server address book or anything exchange related).
However my daily status report is sent out from the server and I think
that uses exchange server to send the daily report.
How can I track down the cause of this error before it becomes a problem.
I haven't had any problem come of this, but that is likely due to the
many recent Windows updates that require restarts about every other
week... if I left this server running for a long time I fear it will run
out of memory.
Thank you!
