inetinfo.exe process is allocating more memory than usual

Please help me on this error I'm getting for the past 2-3 weeks. A system
restart does not alleviate the problem.

The inetinfo.exe process is allocating more memory than usual. The following
services are hosted by this process: IISAdmin, POP3SVC, RESVC, and SMTPSVC.

For more detail, review the event logs for events related to these services.
It may help to stop and then restart these services.

You can disable this alert or change its threshold by using the Change Alert
Notifications task in the Server Management Monitoring and Reporting taskpad.

Hi Joe,

I have the same problem. I receive the message every day at exactly the same
time everyday. It is immediately followed by this message.

----------------------------------
A large amount of memory is committed to applications and processes.
Consistently high memory usage can cause performance problems.

To determine which processes and applications are using the most memory, use
Task Manager. Monitor the activity of these resources over a few days. If
they continue to use a high level of memory and are less critical processes
or services, try stopping and then restarting them.

You can disable this alert or change its threshold by using the Change Alert
Notifications task in the Server Management Monitoring and Reporting taskpad.
------------------------------

I have noticed over the time that this message seems to occur around 20mins
after a reboot, and then it continues at that same time every day until the
next time I reboot and the cycle starts again. If anyone has any idea how to
fix this I would love to hear it!

Increase the monitoring threshold value if you are still using the default
value that the SBS assigns when its installed.

Thanks Steve,

I just went into check what the value was and it is set to 2147483648 (2GB)
however the "30-day counter average" is at 3,023,030,676.0

Does this indicate a memory issue? Should we be looking at increasing the
server's memory? We actually have 2GB of RAM in the server currently.

Are you running PE with SQL? If so 3-4 GB is probably better. You still need
to adjust the thresholds to reflect your specific server's usage.

We are running PE with SQL, but we aren't using SQL heavily. It only has a
few test databases. In all honesty, the SQL databases hardly get touched
these days. We have a separate SQL server now.

Adding memory to the server has been at the back of my mind for a while now.
How can I tell if we have any memory bottlenecks?
