Re: Allocated Memory Alert on SBS

You should read the message you pasted in your post.

To determine which processes and applications are using the most memory, use
Task Manager. Monitor the activity of these resources over a few days. If
they continue to use a high level of memory and are less critical processes
or services, try stopping and then restarting them.

Another might be to pay attention to the Performance Report which will show you the services consuming the most RAM.

Hi,

I run SBS 2003 R2. I constantly get an alert almost everyday regarding the
memory usage. The alart is like below:

Alert on SBS at 12/29/2008 6:43:42 PM

A large amount of memory is committed to applications and processes.
Consistently high memory usage can cause performance problems.

To determine which processes and applications are using the most memory, use
Task Manager. Monitor the activity of these resources over a few days. If
they continue to use a high level of memory and are less critical processes
or services, try stopping and then restarting them.

You can disable this alert or change its threshold by using the Change Alert
Notifications task in the Server Management Monitoring and Reporting taskpad.

How can I find out which process causes this alert?

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Lisa
