SYMPTOMS
When a Microsoft Exchange Server is left running for a long period of time, it might run out of virtual memory due to a memory leak in the Microsoft Exchange information store. This can be observed using the Windows NT Performance Monitor, by checking the private byte counter of the Store process. If you see a steady increase over a few days, you are seeing this problem.



CAUSE
The information store is not freeing allocated memory properly.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.0. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0.
