Hi Janet Didn't you have SQL Server installed and running? It can eat - or rather reserve - close to all available memory just to have it on hand. /gustav >>> jerbach at gmail.com 18-01-2010 15:56 >>> Mark - Just as an update...As of this morning, virtual memory/physical memory usage is pretty near 7 gb. It's been that way all weekend. I tried turning off the services I could find that were related to SBS Monitoring, but that made no difference in memory usage. I'm going to investigate the possibility of un-installing Monitoring altogether; and then I'll probably have to look into disabling other SBS 'standard-you-gotta-have-em' services as well. It sure looks to me like SBS 2008 is a resource hog by default, and that I'll have to turn off quite a few things before I see any improvements. We're also looking at investing in a second server for our main sql server application, so that should help a little. In theory.
