Re: High Amount of memory



Thanks for the link. That hotfix is imo crazy. If you enter in to
low of a number IIS crashes or freezes...nice fix. I am looking into
why that other service from CA is so high. We also run the E Trust AV
as well but I dont think that, is what that is.
Thanks

That w3wp seems high to me. I have three instances of that running, using
12, 37, and 139 mb of RAM. As far as that CA one goes, I don't use whatever
product that is, so I don't have any way to know if it's normal or not. I
would either contact CA support, or go to their web site and install all the
patches to see if that makes a difference. I just use regular eTrust AV,
which seems to want about 50-60 mb of RAM, but I'm not sure that's a fair
comparison with whatever you're running from CA.

If you're not already at Windows Server SP2, I'd either install that or get
the fix below to see if that solves the w3wp part of the issue. If not, you
could look for specific problems with the IIS worker pool that's using all
that RAM. You can open a cmd prompt on the server and type "iisapp" to see
which application pool is using it (compare the output to the PID you see in
Task Manager).

FIX: You experience high memory usage in the W3wp.exe process on a Windows
Server 2003-based computer that has Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0
installedhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;916984

(FWIW, there are reported issues with SP2 on SBS, so please make sure you
read up on that and do a really good backup before applying it).

The server has 3.25 GB of memory. There is around 50 users...

w3wmp - 718,144K
Icihttp - 227,448

This is currently what is used up by those 2 not including Store.exe.
Any other ideas?

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.
