Windows Server 2011 Small Business Server, SBS Monitoring
On the Windows Server 2011 Small Business Server is running a SQL Instance called SBSMONITORING, aswell as a IIS instance. What is it used for? Can we just disable it to safe memory?
Thanks for your information.

You can limit the memory used by any instance of SQL:

As well as Exchange:

Although if you have sized the RAM correctly,neither should be necessary, and Exchange will use as much as it can and give back when something else calls for it.

cgaliher has it right. Most SBS will max out their memory unless you have massive amounts of memory.
Have to point out that "massive" is relative. SBS is based on Server Standard, which will support up to 32 GB of RAM. 4 ea of 8 GB DIMMs is less than the cost many new cell phones and certainly less than the cost of a second CPU which goes mostly unused in SBS.
In SBS 2008 and SBS 2011 standard, we have a service called the Windows SBS Manager that is responsible for a number of tasks around monitoring, alert reporting and maintenance. This service relies on a SQL database running on a SQL express instance called SBSMonitoring.
