Re: High Amount of memory



Technically, store.exe is working as intended, so no fix needed. Having
Exchange items cached in RAM gives a huge performance boost to Exchange,
which is probably noticeable and appreciated by the users.

How much RAM does the server have, what is it running besides SBS, and how
many users? It's normal for the server to have all of the RAM in use, and
it shouldn't be causing any performance or other issues if there's none
free. My moderately loaded SBS tends to use about 3 GB of the 4 available,
but if you're running less than 4 GB, I'd expect it all to be in use.

IMO the RAM usage in WS03 and SBS is controlled well enough that you
shouldn't worry about it or attempt to change how the server handles it, in
the absence of symptoms that need to be resolved. Two exceptions would be
if you have excessive RAM usage from the SQL instances for WSUS, monitoring,
or ISA logging, or if that CA process seems to be using an excessive or
always-increasing amount of RAM. CA might have a patch for that, or
configuration guidelines, if that one is out of control.
