I haven't gotten wind of any memory leaks in SBS, but I suppose you could

Exchange will use a pretty substantial amount of RAM if it's available (it
caches data for increased performance).  You can run into the same thing
with SQL as well.

You might want to reboot, look at the amount of RAM being used by Exchange
and the other top apps, then check back in a day or two to see how much the
usage has changed.  It'll be normal for Exchange and SQL to be using more
RAM after running for a while, but others will generally not increase much.
If you find something that seems unusual, post back and see what results
others are getting for the same app or service.

I had the same problem with 2003 SBS server. What is using the
memory? SQL instances? if it is set limits for each instance.
