I was looking for a definition of "Tribal knowledge" since I am not too familiar with the term and I would hate to piss Jim off. Didn't find a good definition, however did find a good example: Subject: MSDE memory issue 1 - open a cmd window 2 - type the following: osql -E -S %computername%\msfw sp_configure 'show advanced options',1 reconfigure with override go sp_configure 'max server memory', nnnn reconfigure with override (where nnnn is in mb) go exit 3 - restart MSDE - note that you'll also have to restart the ISA Firewall service manually. ..I'd recommend giving MSDE at least 1/3 physical RAM, depending on how much your system actually has. -Wayne -----Original Message----- From: Jim Harrison [mailto:Jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, April 22, 2005 6:23 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Host Server Unreachable http://www.ISAserver.org I'm not - I'm saving that for the "engineer" and his tech lead. It's just pisses me off when folks give "tribal knowledge" troubleshooting advice.
