Re: Free System Page Table Entries In SBS 2003



Hi Gordon,

Thanks for posting in our newsgroup.

From your description, I know that you can't see processes showing up in
process tab of Task Manager. If that's not right, please don't hesitate to
let me know.

Besides Merv's suggestion, please also take the following steps to narrow
down this issue:

Step 1: I researched and found make similar issues are caused by turning on
/3GB switch. If you opened the switch before, please remove the /3GB switch
from the Boot.ini file to see if the problem can be resolved.

In addition, because Microsoft Small Business Server installs as an
integrated domain controller and Exchange server, we also do not recommend
setting the /3GB switch when you run Exchange Server 2003 in a Small
Business Server environment.

space to a value between 2 GB and 3 GB

Step 2: Please make a clean boot to make sure the problem is not caused
third party software:

1. Click Start->Run...->type msconfig and press Enter.
2. Click Services tab and select Hide All Microsoft Services and Disable
All third party Services.
3. Click Startup tab and Disable All startup items.
4. Click OK and choose Restart.
5. After reboot, check whether the problem still occurs.
6. If there are no more problems, please use the above steps to enable
services and startup items one by one in order to figure out the root cause
of this issue.

If the problem persists, please help me collect the following information
for deep research:

1. What important change did you make before the issue first occurred?

2. MPS Report

1) Download MPS report tool from:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd9
15706/MPSRPT_SETUPPerf.EXE
2) Run the MPSRPT_SETUPPerf.exe on the server box.
3) Wait for 10~15 minutes.
4) Open Windows explorer, navigate to
%SYSTEMROOT%\MPSReports\Setup\Reports\cab\
5) Send the .cab file to v-robeli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with subject:
40914053-Free System Page Table Entries In SBS 2003.

I am looking forward to hear from you.

If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Best regards,
