Exchange 2000 server

By default, Windows 2000 Advanced Server reserves 2 GB of virtual address space for the kernel and allows user mode processes, such as the Exchange 2000 information store process (Store.exe) to use 2 GB of virtual address space. Virtual address space for a specific process is allocated at startup and increases as more memory is used during run time. It is very important that the Store.exe process not run out of virtual address space. If the Store.exe process runs out of virtual address space, memory allocations fail (even if there is additional physical RAM available), and you must restart the Exchange 2000 Information Store service.

For example, a server that is running Exchange 2000 on Windows 2000 Advanced Server with 2 GB of physical RAM (without the /3GB switch in the Boot.ini file) runs out of memory when the Store.exe virtual address space reaches 2 GB. Windows Task Manager shows that only about 1.5 GB is actually used, but the server is still out of memory.

Therefore, on a server that is running Exchange 2000 on Windows 2000 Advanced Server with over 1 GB of memory, you need to modify the Windows 2000 Advanced Server Boot.ini file so that 3 GBs of memory are available for user-mode programs.

Det du gør:
Exchange 2000 servers that contain more than 1 gigabyte (GB) of physical RAM require changes to the overall virtual memory allocation.

After you have installed Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server, you must modify the Boot.ini file and add the /3GB parameter to the startup line. For example:

[Boot Loader]
Timeout=30
Default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\\WINNT
[Operating Systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\\WINNT=\"Microsoft Windows 2000 Server\" /fastdetect /3GB
NOTE: Some of the lines above have been wrapped for readability.

men store.exe BRUGER meget ram... og det skal den jo netop :)

bare for at være helt sikker:

Gælder der det samme i windows 2000 som i Windows 2000 Advanced server.
eller er det kun i advacned server man kan lave denne 3GB i boot.ini

Jeg vil mene der ikke er forskel der.
