Exchange Virtual Memory
There still seems to be a lot of problems out there with Exchange and Virtual Memory. Beware of rogue information though.
A few helpful tips seem to be....
1) Use the /3GB flag when using Windows 2000 Advanced Server or any flavour of Windows 2003
2) Don't put too much memory into the machine if you don't need it.
3) If using Windows 2000 with SP4 and Exchange 5.5 DO NOT RUN THE PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZER (well do it, but not when the Exchange Server is running)
4) Make sure you put all the latest hotfixes on the boxes, and try to keep all servers at the same level, its much harder to troubleshoot if there are different versions
Extract Exchange 200x information from the GAL
Well OK, I know that its not really the GAL that we're gonna extract from, its active directory, but I found a good article about it and thought I would post it here...
