Not crazy and it happens to every new server I set up. It's not just me, I'm (and the other posters with similar comments) Rather than dismiss my comment - if someone from MS want's details, I will be more than happy to send them screen casts demonstrating the performance issues, logs or whatever else. But if I don't limit store.exe manually, it makes a huge and noticably negative impact on performance After restricting store.exe, I've never had Exchange performance be an issue - even when limiting the memory useage for store.exe. The settings might make sense when Exchange is the only major resource on a server in a traditional environment, but SBS is different - there's a bit more going on under the hood than the normal Exchangeīest practices. I really wish the SBS team would re-evaluate this. With 24GB of RAM I should hardly ever have to touch the swap file! Talking a small box - it has 24GB of RAM! I forgot that I had made the adjustments referenced earlier in this thread and was reminded of it when I started running performance monitor and watched in annoyance as Store.exe consumed the lions share of memory,Ĭausing other processes to have to page in and out. I rebuilt an SBS 2011 server here recently and was puzzled why it ran great for the first business day, but the next day it would be significantly slower. I keep hearing this, but my experience is contrary to this "conventional wisdom". Store.exe is _designed_ to use available memory and does not normally cause the slowdown encountered by the OP. I just think the SBS team is throwing in these newer components and not adjusting the whole mix for the presence of the parts together. If this were just an Exchange box, I'd be less concerned. I know SBS 2011 has more going on, but the associated excess baggage (requiring much more hardware - especially memory) is getting ridiculous. I also have a 50 seat office running SBS 2003 on a Xeon 5520/SAS 15k mirror with 4GB of RAM and never a problem. This is an office of six users running SBS 2011 on a Xeon 5504/SAS 15k mirror with 18GB of RAM. Memory (which I need some of for the server to run well ) or they cannot throttle themselves back dynamically fast enough in an SBS 2011 server.

However, either they do not care about free Ultimately, I do not doubt that they are all designed to release memory when none is "available". My main issue is not that Exchange wants to cache memory, in and of itself, but so do other processes. Sorry that I disappeared for a little bit - despite having successfully limited exchange memory to around 4GB, it took expanding the server's total memory from 12GB to 18GB in order to have consistent free memory of a GB or two. I can pretty well guess they might be part of the issue, but I still should be able to limit

The server does have Trend Micro Worry-Free Business Standard on it, using their latest version whose patch level (1435) is supposed to be SBS 2011 compatible. I have reduced this number by about half each time, having done this maybe four times now (I think I started at 500,000 when I errantly thought the blocks were 4KB each - I am still not sure what they are [have seen both 8KB and 32KB mentioned in support There are conflicting numbers out there about the actual size of the cache blocks, so I am not actually sure I am limiting yet having it set to 50,000. I have read several articles online regarding adjustment of the msExchESEParamCacheSizeMax. Has a reasonable amount of memory allocated (usually for a while after a restart) the problem does not happen. They like the product, except it will get very slow for several minutes a few times per day.

I have a client who is using the trial version (on a new HP M元50 G6 with 12GB RAM allocated to the VM) for their office of six.
