Scroll back thru the list and look at "Some Daily Maintenance for Exchange". Last Saturday I posted some stop & start batch files. You can kick them off using scheduler. Or do what I do - close down the server every morning around 4am using the UPS shutdown capabilities. With one of my clients (SBS2000 with all patches, 7 users, PIII500, 1Gb RAM, Intel SC server board) store.exe grows to 700Mb + within 3 days. Shutting down the server gives a fresh start every day and it only takes them milliseconds extra to retrieve their messages!

The longer the machine is on the more it uses. Can I set a maximum usage and how? If not how do I create a task to stop and start the store every day at a particular time and then restart? Any help appreciated William ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: exchlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
