I was wondering that myself; even after a few hours Event Viewer says Memory is Fragmented blah blah. I can safely? ignore that for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, then OWA will stop working, then MAPI clients outboxes slowly fill up with half-sent things and mail delivery ceases. When this happens I take a few minutes looking at Services - None have stopped, and Event logs, nothing obvious to me. I reboot and all is well again for a few days up to a few weeks. I intend to order Win2K Server Resource Kit to get shutdown.exe, and schedule it for latenight Saturdays.
