Exchange 2003 on W2K3 - /3GB /USERVA=3030 Setting

Asked by BLipman in Exchange Email Server

Tags: exchange, 2003

Hello, I just wanted to make sure I was reading my KB articles right before I made a change to the server.  I have a Server 2003 box w/ Exchange 2003 and 4GB of RAM.  At the moment I don't have any memory tuning entries in my boot.ini file.  Tell me if this is proper or if there are more settings I want to consider (ESE Buffer Size, Store Database Cache Size, etc...)

I was thinking I just want to throw in: /3GB /USERVA=3030 and leave the registry hacking alone for the time being.  Does this sound good or do I really want to mess with the more advanced tuning.  I have about 60 users and 80 Mailboxes with Exchange 2003 and OWA FE/BE combined setup.  

On a side note, what are the optimal Processor Scheduling and Memory Usage settings to apply in "My Computer->Properties->Advanced->Performance->Advanced".  I currently have Processor set to optimize 'background services' and memory set to optimize for 'programs'.  

I will slice up points for thoughtful info (I have KB815372 and KB810371, no need to post links)
Thanks for the time!Start Free Trial
