That's exactly it; store.exe uses memory until another process requests some. The bottom line is that if you have 1G RAM and only use 20%, the remaining 80% is doing naff all, and you might as well pull a bank of RAM out of the server.

Subject: STORE.EXE - How much is too much? I am now confused on the operation of e2k sp2 store.exe process, as a result of reading this fine list :-) Let's just say for example that one had a single exchange server in their network. Let's also say that box has a fast processor (only one), with 1Gig of ram and also runs the 2nd DC and hosts a GC. Nothing else running on the server, especially anything from any AV vendor. Would the following store.exe sizes be reasonable? At what point should I be worried about the process failing? 600M - day before yesterday 650M - yesterday 471M - a few minutes ago I gathered, from the docs, that the process is supposed to use all available memory, minus whatever it grudgingly allowed the OS to give away to other processes. Thanks for any thoughts you may relate, Gary Barnett Network Administrator Wells St. John P.S. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
