You need AS to take advantage of having that much RAM. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck Bryant" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 4:30 PM Subject: RE: scheduling automatic rebooting of server
It has 4G Ram but... Q266096 says the /3GB switch is for "Advanced Server", mine's just "Windows 2000 Server" Would upgrading that help? Would I get my money back if it doesn't? Before I had E2KSP2 I tried the /3GB switch anyway, and the event log recorded an event suggesting that the switch was wrong. This was a long time ago I don't think I have that event log item anymore. I've read other Q Articles that also suggest /3GB is only for Advanced Server. Meanwhile my server did whatever it does that makes it stop again this morning so as soon as I rebooted I printed screens of Task Manager showing memory usage, peak memory, cpu and will repeat the next time I have trouble - maybe this will give me a lead on which of the 100s of parameters in PerfMon to monitor for an actual cause for this problem. The event log showed MSExchangeDSAccess Topology Event ID: 2103 Process MAD.EXE (PID=1844). All Global Catalog Servers in use are not responding: exchange.JohnBurnham.com EventID.net suggests this may be ignored in single GC/DC environments like my own. The Microsoft Content Redirect link in the event log, as usual, shows nothing. Maybe this has nothing to do with my "need" to reboot, which I would rather schedule at night than unscheduled when my phone rings people saying "stuff is in my outbox"; "I'm not getting email"; or "The salesperson I support is in the field and needs help getting their email from the internet" Thanks for everyone's input & suggestions thus far. > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrey Fyodorov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 11:17 AM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: scheduling automatic rebooting of server > > > Sounds like what I am dealing with.
