asked on SBS 2011 - several w3wp.exe processes taking some of the most ram
I have an sbs 2011 server with potential problems
see https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28337116/Exchange-2010-server-health-what-should-I-be-doing-I-am-getting-errors-from-GFI.html
Users are saying that accessing shares is taking a while to open files also.
Looking at task manager on the server, there's 9 instances of w3wp.exe running, 3 of them taking up lots of RAM (see attached). and 151 processes?! Is that a lot? There's only 10 users on this system.
They are not using SharePoint, or most anything else - just a file server and exchange (not using OWA right now, although I don't want to turn that off).
any thoughts on should those all be running? What are they doing? What can I do to stop some?

yes, 4.5.1 is installed, has a 12/1/13 date. I guess I'll uninstall after work hours. I am logged in remotely. think I'll be able to get back in remotely to run fix my network wizard? I'm trying to find that wizard... can you point me in the right place to see it?

using logmein.
yeah, this machine is really just used as file server, exchange and they have quickbooks database server on it. (OK, I say that and the realize, it's also a DC, dns server, dhcp server....)
any remote access to the PCs is via logmein. loads of things that could be turned off on this box? Feel free to suggest

performance tab? that's the processor / ram view. don't see anything to change the view to what you are describing
