Ken, have you looked at other articles? Look at: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;328882
It clearly states that the only reason that you don't use the /3gb switch on Standard is because you end up losing a GB of allocatable virtual memory. I have never seen a problem running Exchange 2000 on W2K Standard with more than 1gb of RAM. In fact, we had to upgrade ours from 1GB to 1.5GB - it is running even better now that we put more memory in it. Brian, Do not use the /3gb switch on W2K standard. Read the bottom part of that article for suggestions on what you might be able to do to help in your situation.

In the past, other knowledgeable Exchange folk have argued against this interpretation. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2003 1:06 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Virtual Memory error My current setup is Windows 2000 (standard) with Exchange 2000 enterprise with 2 gig ram I am getting the following error message in the event log Source:MSExchangeIS, EventID:9582 "The virtual memory to run your Exchange server is fragmented in such a way that performance may be affected. It is highly recommended that you restart all Exchange services to correct this issue." I have checked technet and they talk about a 3gb switch in the boot.ini if you are running Windows 2000 advanced server, but no other references. Is there any otehr places to look? Eventually it will degrade to the point I will have to restart the services and If I restart the services it will go away for a day but then it returns. Any help would be appreciated Thanks Brian McDonald _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
