I'd have not seen those kind of recommendation, but I'd love the see what Q article describes that you'd need to reapply SP after adding more memory to your system. I'd definitely reset the Virtual Memory settings to your total memory + 100MB and run Exchange Performance Optimizer, however.
As far as for reapplying SoftPaq after adding memory does not ring the bell either. When I as at the ASE class a year ago, instructor never said anything like that unless I was looking out the window while he said such a thing. What I remember is that whenever you add memory to your existing system, it's always good go into Compaq System Configuration and save your current settings again (Press F10 when your reboot your server.). I was only told to always reapply Compaq SoftPaq after applying Windows SP on your system, however.

I found that after installing the Ram my server would lockup only when the backup is running. So I put all the backups on hold and my server runs great. I have backup exec 8.5. I emailed veritas about the problem and this is what they suggested: As a rule by Microsoft, whenever you apply any new software or Hardware changes, Microsoft recommends to re-apply Service Pack on top of an existing one. Just try reapplying SP6a on top of an existing one which is most likely to be the cause. Also, since your Virtual Memory size will be as per your old RAM size. You need to reconfigure Virtual Memory size E.g.: try setting it to 600MB You also need to reapply Softpaq which comes with Compaq machines. For further information, please refer the documentation came along with Compaq. Awaiting your feedback. Warm Regards, Vmail Team So my question is has anyone ever had this problem and if so do you think I should do what they suggested above.
