How can i reduce high physical memory usage in SBS 2011

Hi

i have a client with an SBS 2011 server on a HP ML350 G8 platform with 24GB ram and a 4core 2.4Ghx Xeon. The page files is 36864 and is on the data partition.
I am having problems at the moment with the performance of sage accounting software running slowly and i believe it is because of the amount of memory in use. I have attached some task manager screen shots can you give me any pointers as if the problem is exchange, IIS etc and any ideas on how to resolve the problem.

Thanks in advance

Try setting the database cache size for Exchange.

Thanks...i found a similar article last night and implemented it and set it to 8gb (8388608). It had no obvious effect as the memory level was just the same and the store.exe was just the same as what is being displayed unless i entered an invalid amount so i removed the setting.

Would be helpful to know what article you found...

You need to specify the MINIMUM cache size as well - that means you must define both msExchESEparamCacheSizeMax AND msExchESEparamCacheSizeMin.

i didn't notice anything about CacheSizeMin but there are a few more links down the page that i ran out of time to look at last night.
