It's been my experience with Exchange (and NT also) that thrashing happens when there is excessive paging due to lack o' RAM. My advice...add RAM. You can never have enough. However $ plays a role so purchase as much as you can. Good luck.

Since Exchange wants to lay it hands on all of your server?s memory, you can either add RAM or you can use the Performance Optimizer to tell Exchange to not use all memory on your server. In perfopt you can tell exchange how much memory it can use.

Some more info re your server configuration would be beneficial. Also which of the Back Office components is your site actually using? How many users are you supporting from the one Exchange Server? Is the system also your fileserver? In situations like this, as much detail as you can supply is always beneficial. LOL
