Re: Free System Page Table Entries In SBS 2003

Hi Gordon,

Thanks for your reply.

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

At this point, you can turn off the /3GB switch and try the following steps:

Step 1: The problem seems to be related to memory usage on SBS server. The
SQL server occupies large amount of RAM, which is by design. We can modify
the max server memory to prevent SQL Server from using more that the
specified amount of memory. Then test if the problem can be resoved:

To do so, open a command prompt and run the following command:

osql -E -S <SBS server name>\<instance name>
You will enter the osql command prompt. Run the commends below (replace
<xxx> with the maximum and minimum amount of memory respectively):
1> EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
2> reconfigure
3> go
1> EXEC sp_configure 'min server memory', <xxx>
2> reconfigure
3> go
1> EXEC sp_configure 'max server memory', <xxx>
2> reconfigure
3> go

After doing the above steps, you may run the commands to check the
configured memory usage:

1> EXEC sp_configure
2> go

For more information, please see the article below:
321363 INF: SQL Server Memory Usage
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=321363

Step 2: I have a same issue that Virus caused the Task Manager Processes
List Grey out. Please scan the SBS Server with Anti Virus software and test
again.

Hope above information help.

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

Best regards,

Robert Li(MSFT)
