Could some one please clarify an issue for me. I am running E2k sp3 on W2k server SP3. A few days ago everyone was complaining that Outlook was locking up. I found the the Virtual memory was down to about 4. Over night I restarted the exchange server and everything seems to be normal again. I found Q302254 which at the bottom has this note:
IMPORTANT: Note that it is not recommended that you run Windows 2000 Server with anything more than 2 GB of memory (that is, do not use the /3GB switch), when you are running Exchange 2000 because anything over that amount is unused. If the Store.exe process runs out of virtual address space, the memory is all on the server. To get the best use out of the added memory, run Windows 2000 Advanced Server, not Windows 2000 Server. The /3GB switch has advantages only when you use it on a Windows 2000 Advanced Server-based computer. On the exchange server I have 2.5 gigs of memory I do not have the /3GB switch set in the boot.ini file. Does this note mean that I should not use more than 2 gigs of memory? Or is it okay to have more but not to use the /3GB switch? Does Microsoft recommend taking memory out of my server?
