how to limit store.exe memory on SBS 2k3 box

Share on Facebook

Because SBS 2k3 runs more services on one box than a normal win 2k3 server, memory usage is crucial and one cannot afford to have a single service process hogging all available memory on the SBS 2k3 box. If you are like me, you've noticed and watch in horror, while store.exe uses over 500MB of memory (as per task manager) and googled for ideas with no joy. The reason I decided to amplify this solution I came across was because most of the articles I found online suggested more or less to live with it or increase RAM on the box. I however stumbled on this blog post by JIM McBee which provided a way of limiting the Store.exe memory. The article was written for Exchange 2007 but worked equally well for me running Exchange 2003 on SBS 2k3 R2. There is no use duplicationg the steps as they are ellaborately presented in that blog post.

Hope it saves somebody the headache.
