Stop Exchange Store.exe Taking 99 – 100% Physical Memory
KB ID 0000903 Problem Before you go any further with this article THIS IS COMPLETELY NORMAL! It may look a little odd if you look in Task Manager. Store.exe will take as much RAM as it can get hold of, the difference between that, and a program that ‘hogs’ memory is, it has been designed to monitor the system, and release memory as it’s required by other processes. So for 99.999% of you stop reading now! OK, You can...

If you have multiple public folders within public folders then setting up replication can be a nightmare, as the replication settings don’t get passed down to the child object. Normally you could use PFDAdmin and this would do it for...

Exchange 2000 / 2003 – 1 User, 2 Email Addresses, 2 Mailbox’s
KB ID 0000086 Problem The title may be a little misleading 🙂 1 user cannot have 2 mailbox’s (NOTE a user can have many email addresses but only 1 of those addresses is the PRIMARY address so if he/she sends some mail the primary address will be the SENT FROM address for a SINGLE mailbox). For most people that’s fine, BUT what happens if you want to be able to send AND receive as bob@acme.co.uk AND robert@doodar.biz as two...
