a) STORE.EXE at 100% CPU is not normal. Typical values for a well used system would be 30 to 50% CPU. b) STORE.EXE can take close to 100% of memory without a worry - but NOT CPU. c) Stop and start the Information Store if you like - it sounds as though it wouldn't do any harm and may do some good. But NOT when the backups are running. d) What version of Exchange, what Service Packs and what hot fixes are you running?
Cheers, Chris -----Original Message----- From: Mike Omilian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 12 July 2002 14:58 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Store.exe and NT backup I was reading a Technet articles that the store may be corrupt (Q272570). Even though the criteria listed doesn't all match us, I was wondering if there could still be corruption. Since we don't work any 2nd or 3rd shifts here, I didn't think too much would be missed from 11:00pm to 2:00 if the information store was stopped. It didn't seem like this would be too bad to try to troubleshoot, but I could be wrong. I just don't know. > Why would you want to do that? > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Omilian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, July 12, 2002 9:37 AM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: Re: Store.exe and NT backup > > > Forgot one thing - The only thing I haven't tried is stopping the > information store while the backup is running. > > > > Our store.exe is running at 100%.
