I have an SBS 2003 sp2 server running Exchange 2003 w/2gb of ram. &nbsp;It's constantly running less than 10% virtual memory available - store.exe being the proccess using the most. &nbsp;I ran the ExBPA and there were two critical errors<br />
<br />
1. Page file is less than total physical memory, recommended setting is1.05. &nbsp;1.5 seems to be customary and what our server shows is recommended - min and max are at 3060. &nbsp;This recommendation would then mean reset to min/max 2100. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
2. HeapDeCommitFreeBlockThres<wbr />hold has not been set to 262144 decimal. &nbsp;It's set to 0 and according to SBS instructions, that's were it should be. Also, the instructions for HeapDe show setting the value to a hexadecimal value of 0x00040000, which is not a hex number. <br />
<br />
Is it really important these changes are made on an SBS box and help up virtual memory to a more tolerable level? &nbsp;If so, wouldn't the hex value to enter be 40000, not 0x00040000?<br />
<br />
Thanks for the help.

Low Virtual memory on SBS 2003 w/Exchange

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
