What, exactly, is wrong with Exchange using as much available RAM as possible? What else did you plan to do with the RAM? This is normal, expected behavior. Exchange 2003 was the last version of Exchange to use no more than 4GB of RAM. What do you mean by "memory issues? Was Exchange not performing well? I administer about 90 physical/virtual servers for a small government agency; wit the exception of domain controllers and print servers, the majority of our systems have over 4GB of RAM--there are plenty with 16GB, a few with 24-32GB, and our SAS server is allocated 64GB.

Thanks to a major nasty, we replaced our aging Server and Exchange 2003 over the New Year holiday. Installing SBS 2010 appeared to make sense, until we discovered that the supplied 4 Gb was insufficient. So this was doubled. All appeared OK, but slow, so we doubled it to the HP's max of 16Gb. (Bear in mind that's also double Microsoft SBS own memory advice!)
But the detailed daily SBS reports started to show problems, and cutting a long story short, it was tracked down to lack of resources. Store.exe was taking up half of the available RAM.
Seems we're far from the only ones suffering that problem - it's quite a "normal" problem.
We're far from out of the woods yet, but I'm letting the Microsoft Partner network's people sort the rest out. I've shelled out enough so far for this box of [expletive deleted].

Hi,
Yes, that is normal behaviour, see the following articles:

Are any of you administering Exchange 2010 and had memory issues?
Seems that store.exe goes off and grabs whatever memory it can.
I'd be interested to know what solution (if any) you applied that actually worked.
