When I open the SBS Admin Console and look at the memory
counter under Server status, the percentage free memory
has been dropping down to about 4 or 5 % at certain times
of the day, which works out at about 40 to 50 MB free
memory (Have 1 GB of RAM) ? Is there some process that is
using a lot of memory ? It has been recommended to me to
put more RAM into the server but I have been following
the message thread a few days ago about Exchange errors /
memory fragmentation, when you put more then 1 GB of RAM
in the SBS2K server ?

The Paging file is set to 1.5 GB. Should I increase this ?

Any possible recommendations or is this low memory not a
problem ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Antony

This is normal. Both Exchange, & SQL server will use whatever spare memory
they can find, and will relinquish it as needed. If there are no
performance issues, all is well. 1Gb should be fine provided your demands
are not atypically high.
