Hi,

I am having great problems with sbs 2000, the memory is being thrashed and the server needs to be rebooted every couple of days. The main processes being highly used are store.exe, w3proxy.exe, lsass.exe and inetinfo.exe.

I have applied the latest service packs but still no joy. Any help will be much appreciated.

There is most likely a program that's not freeing up memory that it no longer needs. As a result, the program grabs more and more memory until it finally crashes your system because there is no more memory left.

There are memory leak detection tools available to help track them down. Three such tools are mtrace, memwatch and dmalloc. They are simple programs that find most errors.

Information on these tools and a download link may be found at the following URL:
